19 He will receive[a] a donkey’s burial,
    dragged out and thrown outside the gates of Jerusalem.”

An Oracle against Jerusalem

20 Go up to Lebanon and cry out,
    to Bashan and lift up your voice.
Cry out from Abarim, for all your lovers[b]

    but you said, “I won’t listen!”
This has been your way since your youth,
    for you haven’t obeyed me.
