jeremiah 13:20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?

jeremiah 13:20 "Lift up your eyes and see Those coming from the north. Where is the flock that was given you, Your beautiful sheep?

20. from . . . north--Nebuchadnezzar and his hostile army (Jer 1:14; 6:22).
flock . . . given thee--Jeremiah, amazed at the depopulation caused by Nebuchadnezzar's forces, addresses Jerusalem (a noun of multitude, which accounts for the blending of plural and singular, Your eyes . . . thee . . . thy flock), and asks where is the population (Jer 13:17, "flock") which God had given her?

jeremiah 13:20 "Lift up your eyes and see Those coming from the north. Where is the flock that was given you, Your beautiful sheep?
