Jeremiah 10:21-23

Modern English Version

²¹ For the shepherds have become unthinking
    and have not sought the Lord.
Therefore they have not prospered,
    and all their flocks are scattered.
²² Listen! The sound of the report has come,
    and a great commotion out of the north country,
to make the cities of Judah desolate
    and a den of jackals.

²³ O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself;
    it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
