21 Our leaders are fools.
    They do not ask the Lord for his advice.
So they have failed to take care of us,
    and all their people have disappeared.[a]
22 Listen! We have heard the news!
There is the noise of a great army in the north.
    It is marching towards us!
It is coming to attack the towns of Judah.
    It will make them heaps of stones.
    Only wild animals will live in them.

23 Lord, I know that nobody controls their own life.
    Nobody can decide what will happen to them.
