20 My tent is destroyed,
    and all my tent cords are broken.
My sons have gone away from me,
    they no longer live.
There is no one to pitch my tent again
    and set up my curtains.

    and don’t seek[b] the Lord,
therefore, they don’t prosper,
    and their flock is scattered.

    There is a great commotion from a land in the north
to make the towns of Judah desolate,
    a refuge for jackals.”
