Jeremiah 22:20-22

New International Reader's Version

²⁰ The Lord says, “People of Jerusalem, go up to Lebanon.
    Cry out for help.
    Let your voice be heard in the land of Bashan.
Cry out from the mountains of Abarim.
    All those who were going to help you are crushed.
²¹ When you felt secure, I warned you.
    But you said, ‘I won’t listen!’
You have acted like that ever since you were young.
    You have not obeyed me.
²² The wind will drive away all your shepherds.
    All those who were going to help you will be carried off as prisoners.
Then you will be dishonored and put to shame.
    That will happen because you have been so sinful.
