Jeremiah 10:19-21

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁹ I am hurt badly.
    I am injured and I cannot be healed.
But I told myself, “This is my sickness;
    I must suffer through it.”
²⁰ My tent is ruined.
    All its ropes are broken.
My children left me.
    They are gone.
No one is left to put up my tent.
    No one is left to fix a shelter for me.
²¹ The shepherds are stupid.
    They don’t try to find the Lord.
They are not wise,
    so their flocks are scattered and lost.
