Jeremiah 10:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ But not like these is the portion of Jacob,
    for he is the Maker of all things,
and Israel is the tribe of his heritage;
    the Lord of hosts is his name.

¹⁷ Gather up your belongings and depart from the land,
    you who are living under siege.
¹⁸ For thus says the Lord:
    This time I am determined to cast out
    the inhabitants of this land,
and I will inflict such distress on them
    that they will find it difficult to bear.
