Jeremiah 13:20-22
New American Standard Bible 1995
20 “Lift up your eyes and see
Those coming (A)from the north.
Where is the (B)flock that was given you,
Your beautiful sheep?
21 “What will you say when He appoints over you—
And you yourself had taught them—
Former [a](C)companions to be head over you?
Will not (D)pangs take hold of you
Like a woman in childbirth?
22 “If you (E)say in your heart,
‘(F)Why have these things happened to me?’
Because of the (G)magnitude of your iniquity
(H)Your skirts have been removed
And your heels have [b]been exposed.

Jeremiah 13:20-22
New International Version
20 Look up and see
those who are coming from the north.(A)
Where is the flock(B) that was entrusted to you,
the sheep of which you boasted?
21 What will you say when the Lord sets over you
those you cultivated as your special allies?(C)
Will not pain grip you
like that of a woman in labor?(D)
22 And if you ask yourself,
“Why has this happened to me?”(E)—
it is because of your many sins(F)
that your skirts have been torn off(G)
and your body mistreated.(H)
