Jeremiah 10:22

The Nation Accepts Its Judgment

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 The sound of a report! Behold, it comes—
A great commotion out of the land of the north—
To make the cities of Judah
A desolation, a haunt of jackals.
²³ I know, O Lord, that a man’s way is not in himself,
Nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps.
