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.

New International Version
Coming Destruction
17 Gather up your belongings(A) to leave the land,
you who live under siege.
18 For this is what the Lord says:
“At this time I will hurl(B) out
those who live in this land;
I will bring distress(C) on them
so that they may be captured.”
19 Woe to me because of my injury!
My wound(D) is incurable!
Yet I said to myself,
“This is my sickness, and I must endure(E) it.”
20 My tent(F) is destroyed;
all its ropes are snapped.
My children are gone from me and are no more;(G)
no one is left now to pitch my tent
or to set up my shelter.
21 The shepherds(H) are senseless(I)
and do not inquire of the Lord;(J)
so they do not prosper(K)
and all their flock is scattered.(L)
22 Listen! The report is coming—
a great commotion from the land of the north!(M)
It will make the towns of Judah desolate,(N)
a haunt of jackals.(O)
