Jeremiah 10:21-23
English Standard Version
21 (A)For the shepherds (B)are stupid
and do not inquire of the Lord;
therefore they have not prospered,
(C)and all their flock is scattered.
22 A voice, a rumor! Behold, it comes!—
(D)a great commotion out of the north country
to make (E)the cities of Judah a desolation,
(F)a lair of jackals.
23 (G)I know, O Lord, that the way of man is not in himself,
that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
