Jeremiah 10:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ The God of Jacob is not like them.
    He gives his people everything they need.
He made everything that exists.
    And that includes Israel.
They are the people who belong to him.
    His name is the Lord Who Rules Over All.

¹⁷ People of Jerusalem, your enemies have surrounded you.
    They are attacking you.
So gather up what belongs to you.
    Then leave the land.
¹⁸ The Lord says,
    “I am about to throw out of this land
    everyone who lives in it.
I will bring trouble on them.
    They will be captured.”
