Jeremiah 10:18-20

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁹ Woe is me because of my hurt!
    My wound is severe.
But I said, ‘Truly this is my punishment,
    and I must bear it.’
²⁰ My tent is destroyed,
    and all my cords are broken;
my children have gone from me,
    and they are no more;
there is no one to spread my tent again,
    and to set up my curtains.
