And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.

And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.

And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.

And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.

The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.

And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.

Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.

Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.

But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them.

And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.

For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.

And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.

And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

His prayer also, and how God was intreated of him, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers.

And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.

Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.

The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
