Context of Jeremiah 10:17
15They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their punishment they shall perish. 16The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things ; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name. Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress. 18For 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 . 19Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.
