Jeremiah 13:20-22

Good News Translation

²⁰ Jerusalem, look! Your enemies are coming down from the north! Where are the people entrusted to your care, your people you were so proud of ²¹ What will you say when people you thought were your friends conquer you and rule over you?^[a] You will be in pain like a woman giving birth. ²² If you ask why all this has happened to you—why your clothes have been torn off and you have been raped—it is because your sin is so terrible.
