Jeremiah 13:14-18

Then I will smash them against each other, both the fathers and the sons together,” declares the Lord. “I will not have compassion nor be troubled nor take pity so as to keep from destroying them.” ’ ”

Listen and pay attention, do not be haughty; For the Lord has spoken.

Give glory to the Lord your God Before He brings darkness And before your feet stumble On the mountains in the dark, And while you are hoping for light He makes it into gloom, And turns it into thick darkness.

But if you do not listen to it, My soul will weep in secret for such pride; And my eyes will shed And stream down tears, Because the flock of the Lord has been taken captive.

Say to the king and the queen mother, “Take a lowly seat, For your beautiful crown Has come down from your head.”
