Before He causes bdarkness,
And before your feet stumble
On the dark mountains,
And while you are clooking for light,
He turns it into dthe shadow of death
And makes it dense darkness.
My soul will aweep in secret for your pride;
My eyes will weep bitterly
And run down with tears,
Because the Lord’s flock has been taken captive.
“Humble yourselves;
Sit down,
For your rule shall collapse, the crown of your glory.”
And no one shall open them;
Judah shall be carried away captive, all of it;
It shall be wholly carried away captive.
Those who come from the anorth.
Where is the flock that was given to you,
Your beautiful sheep?
For you have taught them
To be chieftains, to be head over you.
Will not apangs seize you,
Like a woman in1 labor?
a“Why have these things come upon me?”
For the greatness of your iniquity
bYour skirts have been uncovered,
Your heels1 made bare.
Then may you also do good who are accustomed to do evil.

Jeremiah 13:18
The queen - i. e., "the queen-mother:" the word signifies literally "the great lady." The king' s mother took precedence of his wives.
Sit down - The usual position of slaves.
For your principalities ... - Rather, "for the ornaments of your heads, even the crown of your majesty, shall come down."
