Jeremiah 10:21-23

International Children’s Bible

²¹ The shepherds are stupid.
    They don’t ask the Lord.
So they do not have success.
    Their flocks are scattered and lost.
²² Listen! The news is coming.
    The loud noise is coming from the north.
It will make the towns of Judah an empty desert.
    They will become a home for wild dogs!

²³ Lord, I know that a person’s life doesn’t really belong to him.
    No one can control his own life.
