21. I spoke to you when you felt safe and secure,but you said, "I won’t listen."You have been that way since your youth:not listening to a word I say.
22. Your shepherds will be tossed to the wind,your lovers taken off to exile.Then you will be embarrassed and humiliatedby all your wickedness.
23. You who live in Lebanon,nestled in cedar,who will pity youwhen you are overcome in pain,like that of childbirth?
24. As surely as I live, declares the Lord, even if Coniah, King Jehoiakim’s son from Judah were a signet ring on my right hand, I would still remove you from there.
