Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?

The verse 20 is found in chapter 13 of Jeremiah. The jars filled with wine symbolize a society that will be made drunk by judgment. Jeremiah calls the king, priests, and people to humble themselves before darkness arrives. The image of the woman exposed because of her unfaithfulness again represents idolatry as spiritual adultery and announces public humiliation.

Hebt eure Augen auf und sehet, wie sie von Mitternacht daherkommen. Wo ist nun die Herde, so dir befohlen war, deine herrliche Herde?
Alzad vuestros ojos, y ved los que vienen del aquilón: ¿dónde está el rebaño que te fue dado, la grey de tu gloria?
Alcen los ojos y miren a los que vienen del norte. ¿Dónde está el rebaño que te fue confiado, tus hermosas ovejas?
Lève tes yeux et regarde Ceux qui viennent du septentrion. Où est le troupeau qui t'avait été donné, Le troupeau qui faisait ta gloire?
Alzate gli occhi vostri, e vedete quelli che vengono di Settentrione; dove è la mandra che ti era stata data, la greggia della tua gloria?
Levantai os vossos olhos, e vede os que vêm do norte; onde está o rebanho que se te deu, o rebanho da tua glória?
你們要舉目觀看從北方來的人。 先前賜給你的羊群, 就是你所引以為榮的羊, 現今在哪裏呢?
