Jeremiah 13:20-22

English Standard Version

²⁰ “Lift up your eyes ^(A)and see
    those who come from the north.
Where is the flock that was given you,
    your beautiful flock?
²¹ What will you say when they set as head over you
    those whom you yourself have taught to be friends to you?
^(B)Will not pangs take hold of you
    like those of a woman in labor?
²² And if you say in your heart,
    ^(C)‘Why have these things come upon me?’
it is for the greatness of your iniquity
    that ^(D)your skirts are lifted up
    and you suffer violence.
