Jeremiah 13:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ The cities in the Negeb are besieged,
    and no one will be able to offer them relief.
All Judah has been taken into exile;
    every inhabitant has been led away.

²⁰ Lift up your eyes and behold
    those who are coming from the north.
Where is the flock that was entrusted to you,
    the sheep that were your pride?
²¹ What will you say when they appoint as your rulers
    those whom you chose as your allies?
Will not pangs seize you
    like those of a woman in labor?
