Jeremiah 10:19-21

New Century Version

¹⁹ How terrible it will be for me because of my injury.
    My wound cannot be healed.
Yet I told myself,
    “This is my sickness; I must suffer through it.”
²⁰ My tent is ruined,
    and all its ropes are broken.
My children have gone away and left me.
    No one is left to put up my tent again
    or to set up a shelter for me.
²¹ The shepherds are stupid
    and don’t ask the Lord for advice.
So they do not have success,
    and all their flocks are scattered and lost.
