rsv@Jeremiah:10:17 @ Gather up your bundle from the ground, O you who dwell under siege!
rsv@Jeremiah:10:18 @ For thus says the LORD: "Behold, I am slinging out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and I will bring distress on them, that they may feel it."
rsv@Jeremiah:10:19 @ Woe is me because of my hurt! My wound is grievous. But I said, "Truly this is an affliction, and I must bear it."
rsv@Jeremiah:10:20 @ My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken; my children have gone from me, and they are not; there is no one to spread my tent again, and to set up my curtains.
rsv@Jeremiah:10:21 @ For the shepherds are stupid, and do not inquire of the LORD; therefore they have not prospered, and all their flock is scattered.
rsv@Jeremiah:10:22 @ Hark, a rumor! Behold, it comes!--a great commotion out of the north country to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a lair of jackals.
