Jeremiah 13:18-20
Easy-to-Read Version
18 Tell these things to the king and his wife,
“Come down from your thrones.
Your beautiful crowns have fallen from your heads.”
19 The cities in the Negev are locked.
No one can open them.
All the people of Judah have been taken away as captives.
They were carried away as prisoners.
20 Jerusalem, look!
The enemy is coming from the north[a]!
Where is the flock[b] you were once in charge of?
That beautiful flock is gone now.
