    Jeremiah 10:12-25

  • Jeremiah 10:12–25

    12   It is he who made the earth by his power,
        who established the world by his wisdom,
        and by his understanding stretched out the heavens.
    13   When he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens,
        and he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth.
      He makes lightning for the rain,
        and he brings forth the wind from his storehouses.
    14   Every man is stupid and without knowledge;
        every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,
      for his images are false,
        and there is no breath in them.
    15   They are worthless, a work of delusion;
        at the time of their punishment they shall perish.
    16   Not like these is he who is the portion of Jacob,
        for he is the one who formed all things,
      and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;
        the LORD of hosts is his name.
    17   Gather up your bundle from the ground,
        O you who dwell under siege!
    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.”
    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.”
    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.
    21   For the shepherds are stupid
        and do not inquire of the LORD;
      therefore they have not prospered,
        and all their flock is scattered.
    22   A voice, 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.
    23   I know, O LORD, that the way of man is not in himself,
        that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
    24   Correct me, O LORD, but in justice;
        not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.
    25   Pour out your wrath on the nations that know you not,
        and on the peoples that call not on your name,
      for they have devoured Jacob;
        they have devoured him and consumed him,
        and have laid waste his habitation.
