Context of Jeremiah 10:17
15They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. 16The portion of Jacob is not like them; for it is he that hath formed all [things], and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name. Gather up thy baggage out of the land, O inhabitress of the fortress. 18For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will this time sling out the inhabitants of the land, and will distress them, that they may be found. 19Woe is me, for my wound! My stroke is hard to heal, and I had said, Yea, this is [my] grief, and I will bear it.
