Jeremiah 10:21-23

New American Standard Bible 1995

²¹ For the shepherds have become stupid
And ^(A)have not sought the Lord;
Therefore they have not prospered,
And ^(B)all their flock is scattered.
²² The sound of a ^(C)report! Behold, it comes—
A great commotion ^(D)out of the land of the north—
To ^(E)make the cities of Judah
A desolation, a haunt of jackals.

²³ I know, O Lord, that ^(F)a man’s way is not in himself,
^(G)Nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps.
