19 (A)Woe to me, because of my [a]injury!
My (B)wound is incurable.
But I said, “This certainly is a sickness,
And I (C)must endure it.”
20 My (D)tent is destroyed,
And all my ropes are broken.
My (E)sons have gone from me and are no more.
There is (F)no one to stretch out my tent again
Or to set up my curtains.
21 For the shepherds have become stupid
And (G)have not sought the Lord.
Therefore they have not prospered,
And (H)all their flock is scattered.
