22 The wind shall eat up all ^ayour rulers,
And your lovers shall go into captivity;
Surely then you will be ashamed and humiliated
For all your wickedness. ‡

23 O inhabitant of Lebanon,
Making your nest in the cedars,
How gracious will you be when pangs come upon you,
Like ^athe pain of a woman in labor?  ‡

25 ^aand I will give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of those whose face you fear—the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the hand of the¹ Chaldeans.  ‡

26 ^aSo I will cast you out, and your mother who bore you, into another country where you were not born; and there you shall die.  ‡
