Jeremiah 10:17-22
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)
Jeremiah 10:17-22
English Standard Version
17 (A)Gather up your bundle from the ground,
O you who dwell under siege!
18 For thus says the Lord:
(B)“Behold, I am slinging out the inhabitants of the land
at this time,
(C)and I will bring distress on them,
that they may feel it.”
19 Woe is me because of my hurt!
(D)My wound is grievous.
But I said, “Truly this is an affliction,
and I must bear it.”
20 (E)My tent is destroyed,
and all my cords are broken;
my children have gone from me,
(F)and they are not;
there is no one to spread my tent again
and (G)to set up my curtains.
21 (H)For the shepherds (I)are stupid
and do not inquire of the Lord;
therefore they have not prospered,
(J)and all their flock is scattered.
22 A voice, a rumor! Behold, it comes!—
(K)a great commotion out of the north country
to make (L)the cities of Judah a desolation,
(M)a lair of jackals.
