Jeremiah 10:16-18

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁶ Not like these is he who is the portion of Jacob,
    for he is the one who formed all things,
and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;
    the Lord of hosts is his name.

¹⁷ Gather up your bundle from the ground,
    O you who dwell under siege!
¹⁸ For thus says the Lord:
“Behold, I am slinging out the inhabitants of the land
    at this time,
and I will bring distress on them,
    that they may feel it.”
