Jeremiah 13:19-21

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁹ The cities in the Negev will be locked up,
and there will be no one to reopen them.
All the people of Judah will be taken away into captivity.
²⁰ Look up, and see those who are coming from the north.
Where is the flock that was given to you—your beautiful sheep?
²¹ What will you say
when God makes the people you thought were your friends
your new masters?
Won’t pain grip you like a woman in labor?
