Context — Captivity Threatened
18Say to the king and to the queen mother: “Take a lowly seat, for your glorious crowns have fallen from your heads.”
19The cities of the Negev have been shut tight, and no one can open them. All Judah has been carried into exile, wholly taken captive.
20Lift up your eyes and see those coming from the north. Where is the flock entrusted to you, the sheep that were your pride?
21What will you say when He sets over you close allies whom you yourself trained? Will not pangs of anguish grip you, as they do a woman in labor? 22And if you ask yourself, “Why has this happened to me?” It is because of the magnitude of your iniquity that your skirts have been stripped off and your body has been exposed.Cross References

Jeremiah 13:20 Summary
This verse is a call to the leaders of Judah to look around and see the enemy armies approaching from the north. It's a reminder that they have been entrusted with the care of God's people, and they need to be accountable for their actions. Just like a shepherd is responsible for his sheep, leaders are responsible for the people under their care, as seen in Jeremiah 23:1-4. God is asking them to take a hard look at their priorities and consider where their true loyalty lies, and this is a reminder to us today to prioritize our relationship with God and seek His guidance in all that we do (Proverbs 3:5-6, Matthew 6:33).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the people coming from the north in Jeremiah 13:20?
The people coming from the north refer to the Babylonian armies that will invade and conquer Judah, as prophesied in Jeremiah 1:14-15 and Jeremiah 4:6, bringing judgment and exile to the nation.
What does the 'flock' represent in Jeremiah 13:20?
The 'flock' represents the people of Judah, who have been entrusted to the care of their leaders, much like a shepherd cares for his sheep, as seen in Jeremiah 23:1-4 and Ezekiel 34:1-10.
Why is God asking the leaders where their flock is, when they know it has been taken into exile?
God is asking this question to emphasize the leaders' responsibility for the spiritual well-being of their people, and to highlight their failure to protect and care for them, as seen in Jeremiah 23:1-4 and Isaiah 56:9-12.
How does this verse relate to the concept of spiritual leadership?
This verse emphasizes the importance of spiritual leaders being accountable for the people under their care, and being mindful of their own role in leading them towards or away from God, as seen in Hebrews 13:17 and 1 Peter 5:1-4.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I, as a follower of God, can be more mindful of the 'flock' that He has entrusted to my care, whether that be my family, my church, or my community?
- How can I ensure that I am not leading those around me astray, but instead pointing them towards a deeper relationship with God?
- What are some areas in my own life where I may be 'losing' my 'flock', and how can I seek God's guidance and wisdom to restore them?
- In what ways can I, like the leaders in Jeremiah's time, be tempted to prioritize my own pride and interests over the well-being of those around me, and how can I guard against this?
Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 13:20
Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north,.... There are a Keri and a Cetib of the words "lift up" and "behold"; they are written in the singular number, and may be considered as
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 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? Behold them that come from the north - Nebuchadnezzar and his hostile army (Jeremiah 1:14; Jeremiah 6:22).
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 13:20
He speaks to them as if their enemy was even then upon their march, that if they did but look they might see him coming. Where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock? the prophet either speaks to the king, or to the rulers, or chief of the congregation of Judah. , In the multitude of the people is the king’ s honour. So in the multitude of subjects, or of members, lies much of the honour of a church or state.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 13:20
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?Ver. 20. Lift up your eyes, &c.] Still he bespeaketh the king and the queen. Where is the flock that was given thee?] Thee, O queen regent (for the pronoun is feminine), or thee, O state; Redde, Vare, legiones, said Augustus, bewailing the loss of so many gallant soldiers in Germany, under the command of Varus, who was there also slain. Thy beautiful flock.] Heb., Thy flock of goodliness. See Proverbs 14:28.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 13:20
(20) Lift up your eyes.—The Hebrew verb is feminine and singular, the possessive pronoun masculine and plural. Assuming the reading to be correct, the irregularity may have been intended to combine the ideal personification of Jerusalem, the daughter of Zion, as the natural protectress of the other cities, with the concrete multitude of her inhabitants. The “beautiful flock” of those cities had been committed to her care, and she is now called to give an account of her stewardship. Them that come from the north.—These are, of course, as in Jeremiah 1:14 and elsewhere, the invading army of the Chaldeans, and probably also their Scythian allies.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 13:20
Verse 20. Where is the flock - thy beautiful flock?] Jerusalem is addressed. Where are the prosperous multitudes of men, women, and children? Alas! are they not driven before the Babylonians, who have taken them captive?
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 13:20
20–27. Lament for the calamities brought about by Jerusalem’s sin See, O Jerusalem, the northern foe descends on thee. What has become of thy goodly nation? How wilt thou endure those who were erst thy friends, now become thy rulers? What shall be thy pangs? And dost thou ask, Wherefore? It is the penalty of thy sin. Evil, through inveterate custom, has become as immutable a thing with thee as is the Ethiopian’s skin or the leopard’s spotted hide. Scattered like the chaff that is whirled along by the desert wind, thou shalt have this for thy lot because of thy faithlessness. Shame and disgrace are the results of the lewd practices which thou hast openly carried on.
Canst thou ever become clean again? The date may well be that of the battle of Carchemish (b.c. 605), which exposed Judah defenceless to Nebuchadnezzar. The foe spoken of cannot be the Scythians (see on Jeremiah 1:13), as they never were “friends,” whereas for the attempt to be on friendly terms with the Eastern powers we may cp. Jeremiah 2:36, Jeremiah 4:30.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 13:20
Jerusalem is asked where the cities, which once lay grouped round her, like a goodly flock of sheep, are gone? The question implies blame.
