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.

The Coming Captivity of Judah

17 You who live under siege,
    Gather up your bundle[a] from the ground.[b]
18 For this is what the Lord says:

“I’m going to throw out the inhabitants
    of the land at this time,
and I’ll bring distress on them
    so they’ll experience[c] it.”

19 Woe is me because of my injury.
    My wound is severe.
I said, “Truly this is my sickness,
    and I must bear it.
20 My tent is destroyed,
    and all my tent cords are broken.
My sons have gone away from me,
    they no longer live.
There is no one to pitch my tent again
    and set up my curtains.
21 Because the shepherds are stupid[d]
    and don’t seek[e] the Lord,
therefore, they don’t prosper,
    and their flock is scattered.
22 The sound of a report, it’s coming now!
    There is a great commotion from a land in the north
to make the towns of Judah desolate,
    a refuge for jackals.”
