The Imminence of Exile and Lament

Jeremiah 10:17-22

Gather vp thy wares out of the land, O thou that dwellest in the strong place.

For thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, at this time I will throwe as with a sling the inhabitants of the lande, and will trouble them, and they shall finde it so.

Wo is me for my destruction, and my grieuous plague: but I thought, Yet it is my sorow, and I will beare it.

My tabernacle is destroyed, and all my coardes are broken: my children are gone from me, and are not: there is none to spread out my tent any more, and to set vp my curtaines.

For the Pastours are become beasts, and haue not sought the Lord: therefore haue they none vnderstanding: and all the flockes of their pastures are scattered.

Beholde, the noyse of the brute is come, and a great commotion out of the North countrey to make the cities of Iudah desolate, and a denne of dragons.
