19 The acities of the Negev have been closed up,
And there is no one to open them;
All bJudah has been taken away into exile,
Wholly taken away into exile.
20 “Lift up your eyes and see
Those coming afrom the north.
Where is the bflock that was given you,
Your beautiful sheep?
21 What will you say when He appoints over you—
And you yourself had taught them—
Former acompanions to be head over you?
Will not bpangs seize you
Like a woman in childbirth?
