13. say to them: Thus says the Lord: Beware! I am making all the inhabitants of this land drunk, the kings who sit on David’s throne, the priests and prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
14. I will smash them against each other, parents and children together—oracle of the Lord—showing no compassion, I will neither spare nor pity, but I will destroy them.
15. Listen and give ear, do not be arrogant,for the Lord speaks.
16. Give glory to the Lord, your God,before he brings darkness;Before your feet stumbleon mountains at twilight;Before the light you look for turns to darkness,changes into black clouds.
17. If you do not listen to this in your pride,I will weep many tears in secret;My eyes will run with tearsfor the Lord’s flock, led away to exile.
18. Say to the king and to the queen mother:come down from your throne;From your headsyour splendid crowns will fall.
19. The cities of the Negeb are besieged,with no one to relieve them;Judah is taken into exile—all of it—in total exile.
