Jeremiah 10:20-22
Good News Translation
20 Our tents are ruined;
the ropes that held them have broken.
Our children have all gone away;
there is no one left to put up our tents again;
there is no one to hang their curtains.”
21 I answered, “Our leaders are stupid;
they do not ask the Lord for guidance.
This is why they have failed,
and our people have been scattered.
22 Listen! News has come!
There is a great commotion in a nation to the north;
its army will turn the cities of Judah into a desert,
a place where jackals live.”

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)
