Jeremiah 13:18-20

New Century Version

¹⁸ Tell this to the king and the queen mother:
    “Come down from your thrones,
because your beautiful crowns
    have fallen from your heads.”
¹⁹ The cities of southern Judah are locked up,
    and no one can open them.
All Judah will be taken as captives to a foreign land;
    they will be carried away completely.

²⁰ Jerusalem, look up and see
    the people coming from the north.
Where is the flock God gave you to care for,
    the flock you bragged about?
