Jeremiah 10:17-22
17aGather up your bundle from the ground,You who inhabit a land under siege!
18For thus says Yahweh, “Behold, I am aslinging out the inhabitants of the landAt this time,And will cause them distress,That they may find it.”
19aWoe is me, because of my 1injury!My bwound is desperately sick.But I said, “Truly this is a sickness,And I cmust bear it.”20My atent is destroyed,And all my ropes are torn out;My bsons have gone from me and are no more.There is cno one to stretch out my tent againOr to set up my curtains.21For the shepherds have become senselessAnd ahave not sought Yahweh;Therefore they have not prospered,And ball their flock is scattered.22The sound of a areport! Behold, it comes—A great quaking bout of the land of the north—To cmake the cities of JudahA desolation, a haunt of jackals.
