Jeremiah 10:20-22
The Message
Jeremiah 10:20-22
The Message
19-20 But it’s a black day for me!
Hopelessly wounded,
I said, “Why, oh why
did I think I could bear it?”
My house is ruined—
the roof caved in.
Our children are gone—
we’ll never see them again.
No one left to help in rebuilding,
no one to make a new start!
21 It’s because our leaders are stupid.
They never asked God for counsel,
And so nothing worked right.
The people are scattered all over.
22 But listen! Something’s coming!
A big commotion from the northern borders!
Judah’s towns about to be smashed,
left to all the stray dogs and cats!
Jeremiah 10:20-22
New International Version
Jeremiah 10:20-22
New International Version
20 My tent(A) is destroyed;
all its ropes are snapped.
My children are gone from me and are no more;(B)
no one is left now to pitch my tent
or to set up my shelter.
21 The shepherds(C) are senseless(D)
and do not inquire of the Lord;(E)
so they do not prosper(F)
and all their flock is scattered.(G)
22 Listen! The report is coming—
a great commotion from the land of the north!(H)
It will make the towns of Judah desolate,(I)
a haunt of jackals.(J)
