Jeremiah 10:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ But Jacob’s [^Canother name for Israel] Portion [^Creferring to the Lord; God gives himself to Israel] is not like ·the idols [^Lthese].
    He ·made [^Lformed] everything,
and ·he chose Israel to be his special people [^LIsrael is the tribe of his inheritance].
    The Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts] is his name.

¹⁷ ·Get everything you own [^LGather your goods] ·and prepare to leave [or from the ground],
    you people who are ·trapped by your enemies [^Lunder siege].
¹⁸ This is what the Lord says:
    “At this time I will ·throw [^Lsling] out the people who live in this land.
I will bring ·trouble [distress] to them
    so that they may be ·captured [^Lsqueezed].”
