Jeremiah 22:23
Berean Standard Bible
O inhabitant of Lebanon,* nestled in the cedars, how you will groan when pangs of anguish come upon you, agony like a woman in labor.”
Context
21I warned you when you were secure.
You said, ‘I will not listen.’
This has been your way from youth,
that you have not obeyed My voice. 22The wind will drive away all your shepherds,
and your lovers will go into captivity.
Then you will be ashamed and humiliated
because of all your wickedness. 23O inhabitant of Lebanon,*
nestled in the cedars,
how you will groan when pangs of anguish come upon you,
agony like a woman in labor.” 24“As surely as I live,” declares the LORD, “even if you, Coniah * son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were a signet ring on My right hand, I would pull you off. 25In fact, I will hand you over to those you dread, who want to take your life—to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and to the Chaldeans.*
