Jeremiah 10:17-22

Get everything you own and prepare to leave, you people who are trapped by your enemies. This is what the LORD says: “At this time I will throw out the people who live in this land. I will bring trouble to them so that they may be captured.” How terrible it will be for me because of my injury. My wound cannot be healed. Yet I told myself, “This is my sickness; I must suffer through it.” My tent is ruined, and all its ropes are broken. My children have gone away and left me. No one is left to put up my tent again or to set up a shelter for me. The shepherds are stupid and don’t ask the LORD for advice. So they do not have success, and all their flocks are scattered and lost. Listen! The news is coming. A loud noise comes from the north to make the towns of Judah an empty desert and a home for wild dogs!
