The inhabitants of the land,
And will distress them,
bThat they may find it so.”

My wound is severe.
But I say, b“Truly this is an infirmity,
And cI must bear it.”
My wound is severe.
But I say, b“Truly this is an infirmity,
And cI must bear it.”
20 aMy tent is plundered,
And all my cords are broken;
My children have gone from me,
And they are bno more.
There is no one to pitch my tent anymore,
Or set up my curtains.
And all my cords are broken;
My children have gone from me,
And they are bno more.
There is no one to pitch my tent anymore,
Or set up my curtains.
21 For the shepherds have become dull-hearted,
And have not sought the Lord;
Therefore they shall not prosper,
And all their flocks shall be ascattered.
And have not sought the Lord;
Therefore they shall not prosper,
And all their flocks shall be ascattered.
22 Behold, the noise of the report has come,
And a great commotion out of the anorth country,
To make the cities of Judah desolate, a bden of jackals.
And a great commotion out of the anorth country,
To make the cities of Judah desolate, a bden of jackals.
23 O Lord, I know the away of man is not in himself;
It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.
It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.
