Jeremiah 13:19-21

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁹The towns of the Negeb are shut up
with no one to open them;
all Judah is taken into exile,
wholly taken into exile.

²⁰Lift up your eyes and see
    those who come from the north.
Where is the flock that was given you,
    your beautiful flock?
²¹What will you say when they set as head over you
    those whom you have trained
    to be your allies?
Will not pangs take hold of you,
    like those of a woman in labour?
