Jeremiah 10:17-22
World English Bible
17 Gather up your wares out of the land,
you who live under siege.
18 For Yahweh says,
“Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time,
and will distress them, that they may feel it.”
19 Woe is me because of my injury!
My wound is serious;
but I said,
“Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it.”
20 My tent has been destroyed,
and all my cords are broken.
My children have gone away from me, and they are no more.
There is no one to spread my tent any more,
to set up my curtains.
21 For the shepherds have become brutish,
and have not inquired of Yahweh.
Therefore they have not prospered,
and all their flocks have scattered.
22 The voice of news, behold, it comes,
and a great commotion out of the north country,
to make the cities of Judah a desolation,
a dwelling place of jackals.
Jeremiah 10:17-22
New American Standard Bible
17 (A)Pick up your bundle from the ground,
You who live under siege!
18 For this is what the Lord says:
“Behold, I am (B)slinging out the inhabitants of the land
At this time,
And I will cause them distress,
So that they may [a]be found.”
19 (C)Woe to me, because of my [b]injury!
My (D)wound is incurable.
But I said, “This certainly is a sickness,
And I (E)must endure 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 is coming—
A great roar (L)from the land of the north—
To (M)make the cities of Judah
A desolation, a haunt of jackals.
