24:013:017 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall
weep in secret
places
for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run
down
with tears, because the LORD’s flock is carried
away
captive.
24:013:018 Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble
yourselves, sit
down:
for your principalities shall come down, even the crown
of
your glory.
24:013:019 The cities of the south shall be shut up,
and none shall open
them:
Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall
be
wholly carried away captive.
24:013:020 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that
come from the north:
where
is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?
24:013:021 What wilt thou say when he shall punish
thee? for thou hast
taught
them to be captains, and as chief over thee: shall
not
sorrows
take thee, as a woman in travail?
24:013:022 And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore
come these things
upon
me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy
skirts
discovered,
and thy heels made bare.
24:013:023 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the
leopard his spots?
then
may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
24:013:024 Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble
that passeth away
by
the wind of the wilderness.
24:013:025 This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures
from me, saith
the
lord; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted
in
falsehood.
24:013:026 Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon
thy face, that thy
shame
may appear.
24:013:027 I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings,
the lewdness
of
thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in
the
fields.
Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made
clean?
when shall it once be?
24:014:001 The word of the lord that came to
Jeremiah concerning the
dearth.
24:014:002 Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish;
they are black
unto
the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
24:014:003 And their nobles have sent their little
ones to the waters:
they
came to the pits, and found no water; they returned
with
their
vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and
covered
their heads.
24:014:004 Because the ground is chapt, for there
was no rain in the
earth,
the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.
24:014:005 Yea, the hind also calved in the field,
and forsook it,
because
there was no grass.
24:014:006 And the wild asses did stand in the high
places, they snuffed
up
the wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, because
there
was
no grass.
