Jeremiah 13:17-19

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁷ If you won’t listen,
I will cry secretly over your arrogance.
I will cry bitterly, and my eyes will flow with tears
because the Lord’s flock will be taken captive.
¹⁸ Say to the king and his mother,
“Come down from your thrones,
because your crowns have fallen off your heads.”
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.
