Jeremiah 13:18-22

Say to King Jehoiachin and his mother, “Come down from your high thrones and take a humble seat, for your glorious crown has tumbled off your heads.” The cities in southern Judah are under siege, and no one can free them. All the people of Judah will be carried into exile, carried completely away. Lift up your eyes and see the Babylonians coming from the north. What will become of the cities of Judah? Like a beautiful flock of lambs, they were entrusted to your care. What will you say when those you courted as allies are appointed as your masters? You will be gripped with pain as a woman giving birth. And when you ask yourself, “Why are these things happening to me?”— it is because your sin was so enormous that your skirts are lifted up and your private parts exposed.
