Context of Jeremiah 10:19
17Gather 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. Woe 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. 20My tent is despoiled, and all my cords are broken; my children are gone forth from me, and they are not; there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains. 21For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not sought Jehovah; therefore have they not acted wisely, and all their flock is scattered.
