18Say to the king and to the queen mother, ‘Humble yourselves; sit down, for your glorious crown has come down from your heads.’

19The cities of the Negev are shut up, with no one to open them; all Judah has been carried away into exile, wholly carried away into exile.

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

21What will you say when he appoints over you those whom you yourself taught to be leaders over you? Will not labor pains seize you like a woman giving birth?
