Jeremiah 10:19-25 - The Nation Accepts Its Judgment
19 Woe to me for my breaking! My wound is grievous; but I said, Truly this is a malady, and I must bear it. 20 My tabernacle is ravaged, and all my cords are broken; My sons went away from me, and they are not. There is none to stretch out My tabernacle any more, and to set up My curtains. 21 For the pastors have become stupid, and have not sought Jehovah, therefore they shall not be blessed, and all their flocks shall be scattered. 22 Behold, the noise of the rumor has come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a den of jackals.
23 O Jehovah, I know that the way of man does not belong to man; it is not in man who walks to direct his steps. 24 O Jehovah, correct me, but with judgment; not in Your anger, lest You bring me to nothing. 25 Pour out Your fury on the nations who do not know You, and on the families who do not call on Your name; for they have eaten up Jacob and have devoured him, and have destroyed him, and have made his dwelling desolate.
