Jeremiah 10:19-25

191Woe to me, because of my 2injury! My 3wound is incurable. But I said, “This certainly is a sickness, And I 4must endure it.”20My 5tent is destroyed, And all my ropes are broken. My 6sons have gone from me and are no more. There is 7no one to stretch out my tent again Or to set up my curtains.21For the shepherds have become stupid And 8have not sought the Lord. Therefore they have not prospered, And 9all their flock is scattered.22The sound of a 10report! Behold, it is coming-- A great roar 11from the land of the north-- To 12make the cities of Judah A desolation, a haunt of jackals.

23I know, Lord, that 13a person’s way is not in himself, 14Nor is it in a person who walks to direct his steps.2415Correct me, Lord, but with justice; Not with Your anger, or You will 16bring me to nothing.2517Pour out Your wrath on the nations that 18do not know You, And on the families who 19do not call upon Your name; For they have devoured Jacob; They have 20devoured him and consumed him, And have laid waste his 21settlement.
