Jeremiah13:17

17 But if ye will not hear it , my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride , and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the Lords flock is carried away captive .

That is, if you will not listen to what I say, take heed to what I say, and obey the counsel which I give you.

I shall seriously and secretly mourn for your rebellion and obstinacy which is rooted in your pride, and lifting up your selves against the Lords Monitions and Counsels.

And I shall also mourn for your calamity when it comes upon you, I shall have a personal and family concern with you, but that will not so much trouble me as to consider that you who are the Church and People of God should be led into Captivity.
