Jeremiah 22:18-23

New International Version

“They will not mourn^(A) for him:
    ‘Alas, my brother! Alas, my sister!’
They will not mourn for him:
    ‘Alas, my master! Alas, his splendor!’
¹⁹ He will have the burial^(B) of a donkey—
    dragged away and thrown^(C)
    outside the gates of Jerusalem.”

²⁰ “Go up to Lebanon and cry out,^(D)
    let your voice be heard in Bashan,^(E)
cry out from Abarim,^(F)
    for all your allies^(G) are crushed.
²¹ I warned you when you felt secure,^(H)
    but you said, ‘I will not listen!’
This has been your way from your youth;^(I)
    you have not obeyed^(J) me.
²² The wind^(K) will drive all your shepherds^(L) away,
    and your allies^(M) will go into exile.
Then you will be ashamed and disgraced^(N)
    because of all your wickedness.
²³ You who live in ‘Lebanon,^[a](O)’
    who are nestled in cedar buildings,
how you will groan when pangs come upon you,
    pain^(P) like that of a woman in labor!
