The Imminence of Exile and Lament

Jeremiah 10:17-22

Gather up thy wares out of the land, O thou that abidest in the siege.

For thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it.

Woe is me because of my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it.

My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth from me, and they are not: there is none to spread my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.

For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired of Jehovah: therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.

The voice of tidings, behold, it cometh, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling-place of jackals.
