Jeremiah 10:17-25
The Coming Captivity of Judah

17 Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.

17:

18 For 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].

18:

19 Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this [is] a grief, and I must bear it.

19:

20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they [are] not: [there is] none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.

20:

21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.

21:

22 Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, [and] a den of dragons.

22:

23 O LORD, I know that the way of man [is] not in himself: [it is] not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

23:

24 O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.

24:

25 Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.

25:
