Jeremiah 10:17-22

Authorized (King James) Version

¹⁷ Gather up thy wares out of the land,
O inhabitant of the fortress.
¹⁸ For thus saith the Lord,
Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once,
and will distress them, that they may find it so.

¹⁹ Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous:
but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.
²⁰ My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken:
my children are gone forth of me, and they are not:
there is none to stretch forth my tent any more,
and to set up my curtains.
²¹ For the pastors are become brutish,
and have not sought the Lord:
therefore they shall not prosper,
and all their flocks shall be scattered.
²² Behold, the noise of the bruit is come,
and a great commotion out of the north country,
to make the cities of Judah desolate,
and a den of dragons.
