Jeremiah 10:20-22

The Voice

²⁰ Like a tent, my nation has collapsed, all the ropes cut apart.
    My sons are gone,
And there is no one left to help me put things back together.
    So I am exposed, with no tent and no shelter.
²¹ The shepherds of my people have lost their senses;
    they never thought to ask what the Eternal would have them do.
So now they are in trouble,
    and all their flocks are scattered.
²² Listen! The news we’ve dreaded is finally here:
    Rumblings are being heard in the north; an army is moving into our land.
The villages of Judah will be laid to waste;
    their rubble will be the haunt of jackals.
