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)

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)
