Yahweh is continuing to talk to Jeremiah. He is telling Jeremiah what to say to the king of Judah and the king's mother. ## for the crowns on your head, your pride and glory, have fallen off ## "You will no longer be king and queen mother" (See symbolic action) ## queen mother ## the mother of the king. ## The cities in the Negev will be shut up ## "Your enemies will shut the cities in the Negev up" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]]) ## Judah will be taken captive ## "The enemies will take Judah captive" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
