## Jeremiah 13:20-22 in Context (Verses 17–25 KJV)
 
 [17 ](/kjv/jeremiah/13/17) 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.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/jeremiah/13/18) Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, *even* the crown of your glory.*
 
 [19 ](/kjv/jeremiah/13/19) 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.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/jeremiah/13/20) Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where *is* the flock *that* was given thee, thy beautiful flock?
 
 [21 ](/kjv/jeremiah/13/21) 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?*
 
 [22 ](/kjv/jeremiah/13/22) ¶ 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.*
 
 [23 ](/kjv/jeremiah/13/23) Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? *then* may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.*
 
 [24 ](/kjv/jeremiah/13/24) Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/jeremiah/13/25) This *is* thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the LORD; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
 
[Jeremiah 12](/kjv/jeremiah/12) [Jeremiah 14](/kjv/jeremiah/14)
