Jeremiah 10:19-25

Jeremiah 10:19-25

[19] Woe  is me for my hurt!  my wound  is grievous:  but I said,  Truly  this is a grief,  and I must bear  it. [20] My tabernacle  is spoiled,  and all my cords  are broken:  my children  are gone forth  of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth  my tent  any more, and to set up  my curtains.  [21] For the pastors  are become brutish,  and have not sought  the LORD:  therefore they shall not prosper,  and all their flocks  shall be scattered.  [22] Behold, the noise  of the bruit  is come,  and a great  commotion  out of the north  country,  to make  the cities  of Judah  desolate,  and a den  of dragons.  [23] O LORD,  I know  that the way  of man  is not in himself: it is not in man  that walketh  to direct  his steps.  [24] O LORD,  correct  me, but with judgment;  not in thine anger,  lest thou bring me to nothing.  [25] Pour out  thy fury  upon the heathen  that know  thee not, and upon the families  that call  not on thy name:  for they have eaten up  Jacob,  and devoured  him, and consumed  him, and have made his habitation  desolate.
