Jeremiah 10:17-22
New American Standard Bible 1995
17 (A)Pick up your bundle from the ground,
You who dwell under siege!
18 For thus says the Lord,
“Behold, I am (B)slinging out the inhabitants of the land
At this time,
And will cause them distress,
That they may [a]be found.”
19 (C)Woe is me, because of my [b]injury!
My (D)wound is incurable.
But I said, “Truly this is a sickness,
And I (E)must bear it.”
20 My (F)tent is destroyed,
And all my ropes are broken;
My (G)sons have gone from me and are no more.
There is (H)no one to stretch out my tent again
Or to set up my curtains.
21 For the shepherds have become stupid
And (I)have not sought the Lord;
Therefore they have not prospered,
And (J)all their flock is scattered.
22 The sound of a (K)report! Behold, it comes—
A great commotion (L)out of the land of the north—
To (M)make the cities of Judah
A desolation, a haunt of jackals.
