Jeremiah 10:21

The Nation Accepts Its Judgment

²⁰ My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my sons were taken from me, and they are lost; there is no one to stretch forth my tent any more and to set up my curtains. ²¹ For the shepherds have become stupid
And have not sought the Lord;
Therefore they have not prospered,
And all their flock is scattered.
²² Behold, the voice of the rumour is come, and a great commotion out of the land of the north wind to make the cities of Judah desolate and a den of dragons.

For This Cause

Inquire of the Lord

My People

Scattered Abroad
