Context
Warning to Jerusalem
22:20 People of Jerusalem, go up to Lebanon and cry out in mourning. Go to the land of Bashan and cry out loudly . Cry out in mourning from the mountains of Moab . For your allies have all been defeated .
22:21 While you were feeling secure I gave you warning . But you said , “I refuse to listen to you.” That is the way you have acted from your earliest history onward. Indeed , you have never paid attention to me.
22:22 My judgment will carry off all your leaders like a storm wind ! Your allies will go into captivity . Then you will certainly be disgraced and put to shame because of all the wickedness you have done.
22:23 You may feel as secure as a bird nesting in the cedars of Lebanon . But oh how you will groan when the pains of judgment come on you. They will be like those of a woman giving birth to a baby .
