Jeremiah 22:20

The prophet spoke of Jerusalem as a young woman in this oracle. He called on her to go up on the surrounding mountains to bewail the loss of her lovers (political allies and pagan gods). The Lebanon mountains were to Judah’s north, Bashan was to the northeast, and the Abarim range was to the east of Jerusalem (cf. Numbers 27:12; Deuteronomy 32:49).
