The Imminence of Exile and Lament

Jeremiah 10:17-22

Gather up thy shame out of the land, thou that dwellest in a siege.

For thus saith he Lord: Behold I will cast away far off the inhabitants of the land at this time: and I will afflict them, so that they may be found.

Woe is me for my destruction, my wound is very grievous. But I said: Truly this is my own evil, and I will bear it.

My tabernacle is laid waste, all my cords are broken: my children are gone out from me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.

Because the pastors have done foolishly, and have not sought the Lord: therefore have they not understood, and all their flock is scattered.

Behold the sound of a noise cometh, a great commotion out of the land of the north: to make the cities of Juda a desert, and a dwelling for dragons.
