Jeremiah 10:17-19

Revised Standard Version

The Coming Exile

¹⁷Gather up your bundle from the ground,
    O you who dwell under siege!
¹⁸For thus says the Lord:
“Behold, I am slinging out the inhabitants of the land
    at this time,
and I will bring distress on them,
    that they may feel it.”

¹⁹Woe is me because of my hurt!
My wound is grievous.
But I said, “Truly this is an affliction,
and I must bear it.”
