Jeremiah 13:18-20

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁸ Say to the king and the queen mother:
    “Take a lowly seat,
for your beautiful crown
    has come down from your head.”^[a]
19 The towns of the Negeb are shut up
    with no one to open them;
all Judah is taken into exile,
    wholly taken into exile.

²⁰ Lift up your eyes and see
    those who come from the north.
Where is the flock that was given you,
    your beautiful flock?
