Jeremiah 10:17-22
Legacy Standard Bible
17 (A)Gather up your bundle from the ground,
You who inhabit a land under siege!
18 For thus says Yahweh,
“Behold, I am (B)slinging out the inhabitants of the land
At this time,
And will cause them distress,
That they may find it.”
19 (C)Woe is me, because of my [a]injury!
My (D)wound is desperately sick.
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 torn out;
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 senseless
And (I)have not sought Yahweh;
Therefore they have not prospered,
And (J)all their flock is scattered.
22 The sound of a (K)report! Behold, it comes—
A great quaking (L)out of the land of the north—
To (M)make the cities of Judah
A desolation, a haunt of jackals.

Jeremiah 10:17-22
Evangelical Heritage Version
17 Pick up your pack from the ground,
you who live under siege.
18 For this is what the Lord says.
Watch, I am going to throw out those who live in the land at this time.
I am going to bring them distress that they will feel.
Jeremiah’s Lament
19 Woe to me because of my wound!
My injury is severe!
But I said, “Yes, this is my suffering,
and I must bear it.”
20 My tent is destroyed.
All its ropes are broken.
My children are gone, and they are no more.
No one is left to pitch my tent
or to set up my dwelling.
21 The shepherds have become as senseless as animals.
They do not seek the Lord.
That is why they do not prosper
and all their flock is scattered.
22 Listen! I hear noise—
a great commotion from a land in the north.
It will make the cities of Judah desolate.
It will make them a haunt for jackals.
