Jeremiah 10:17-22
Christian Standard Bible
Exile after the Siege
18 For this is what the Lord says:
Look, I am flinging away(B)
the land’s residents at this time
and bringing them such distress
that they will feel it.
Jeremiah Grieves
19 Woe to me because of my brokenness—
I am severely wounded!(C)
I exclaimed, “This is my intense suffering,
but I must bear it.”
20 My tent is destroyed;(D)
all my tent cords are snapped.
My sons have departed from me and are no more.
I have no one to pitch my tent again
or to hang up my curtains.
21 For the shepherds are stupid:
They don’t seek the Lord.(E)
Therefore they have not prospered,
and their whole flock is scattered.
22 Listen! A noise—it is coming—
a great commotion(F) from the land to the north.
The cities of Judah will be made desolate,
a jackals’ den.(G)
