Jeremiah 10:17-25

171PickH622 upH622 your bundleH3666 from the groundH776, You who liveH3427 under siegeH4692!18For thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, I am 2slingingH7049 outH7049 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 At thisH2088 timeH6471, And I will causeH6887 them distressH6887, SoH4616 thatH4616 they may 3be foundH4672.”

194WoeH188 to me, becauseH5921 of my 5injuryH7667! My 6woundH4347 is incurableH2470. But I saidH559, “ThisH2088 certainlyH389 is a sicknessH2483, And I 7must endureH5375 it.”20My 8tentH168 is destroyedH7703, And allH3605 my ropesH4340 areH5423 brokenH5423. My 9sonsH1121 have goneH3318 fromH3318 me and are noH369 moreH369. ThereH369 isH369 10noH369 oneH369 to stretchH5186 outH5186 my tentH168 againH5750 Or to setH6965 upH6965 my curtainsH3407.21For the shepherdsH7462 have becomeH1197 stupidH1197 And 11have not soughtH1875 the LordH3068. ThereforeH5921H3651 they have not prosperedH7919, And 12allH3605 their flockH4830 is scatteredH6327.22The soundH6963 of a 13reportH8052! BeholdH2009, it is comingH935-- A greatH1419 roarH7494 14from the landH776 of the northH6828-- To 15makeH7760 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 A desolationH8077, a hauntH4583 of jackalsH8565.

23I knowH3045, LordH3068, that 16a person’sH120 wayH1870 is not in himselfH376, 17NorH3808 is it in a personH376 who walksH1980 to directH3559 his stepsH6806.2418CorrectH3256 me, LordH3068, but with justiceH4941; Not with Your angerH639, orH6435 You will 19bringH4591 me toH4591 nothingH4591.2520PourH8210 outH8210 Your wrathH2534 on the nationsH1471 that 21do not knowH3045 You, And on the familiesH4940 who 22do not callH7121 upon Your nameH8034; For they have devouredH398 JacobH3290; They have 23devouredH398 him and consumedH3615 him, And have laidH8074 wasteH8074 his 24settlementH5116.
