What does Jeremiah 13:17 mean?

If you won’t listen, I’ll cry in secret because of your pride. My eyes will overflow with tears, because the Lord’s people will be taken away as captives. Jeremiah 13:17 - Modern Text Bible

(Jeremiah is heartbroken over their stubbornness. He knows their refusal to listen will lead to suffering and exile.)
