Jeremiah 13:18–19

Say to the king and the queen mother:

“Take a lowly seat,

for your beautiful crown

has come down from your head.”

The cities of the Negeb are shut up,

with none to open them;

all Judah is taken into exile,

wholly taken into exile.

Say to the king and to the queen mother,

“Come down from your thrones,

for your glorious crowns

will fall from your heads.”

The cities in the Negev will be shut up,

and there will be no one to open them.

All Judah will be carried into exile,

carried completely away.

Say to the king and the queen mother:

Take a humble seat,

for your glorious crowns

have fallen from your heads.

The cities of the Negev are under siege;

no one can help them.

All of Judah has been taken into exile,

taken completely into exile.

Say to the king and his mother,

“Come down from your thrones

and sit in the dust,

for your glorious crowns

will soon be snatched from your heads.”

The towns of the Negev will close their gates,

and no one will be able to open them.

The people of Judah will be taken away as captives.

All will be carried into exile.

“Say to the king and to the queen mother, ‘Take a lower seat,

for your beautiful crown has come down from your head.’

The towns of the Negev are shut up,

and there is no one who opens them.

All of Judah is deported;

it is deported in completeness.

Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory. 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.
