Jeremiah 10:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁹ How terrible it will be for me!
    I’ve been wounded!
    And my wound can’t be healed!
In spite of that, I said to myself,
    “I’m sick. But I’ll have to put up with it.”
²⁰ Jerusalem is like a tent that has been destroyed.
    All its ropes have snapped.
My people have gone away from me.
    Now no one is left to set up my tent.
    I have no one to set up my shelter.
