Jeremiah 10:20-22

Expanded Bible

²⁰ My tent is ·ruined [destroyed; desolated],
    and all its ropes are broken.
My children have gone away and left me.
    No one is left to ·put up [stretch out] my tent again
    or to set up ·a shelter for me [^Lmy curtains].
²¹ The shepherds are stupid
    and don’t ·ask the Lord for advice [^Lseek the Lord].
So they do not have success,
    and all their flocks are scattered.
²² Listen! The news is coming.
    A ·loud noise [great commotion] comes from the north [^Cthe Babylonian army]
to make the towns of Judah an ·empty desert [desolation]
    and a ·home [haunt] for wild dogs [jackals]!
