Jeremiah 10:21-25

10:21

For the pastors
<07462> (8802)

are become brutish
<01197> (8738)_,

and have not sought
<01875> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_:

therefore they shall not prosper
<07919> (8689)_,

and all their flocks
<04830>

shall be scattered
<06327> (8738)_.

10:22

Behold, the noise
<06963>

of the bruit
<08052>

is come
<0935> (8802)_,

and a great
<01419>

commotion
<07494>

out of the north
<06828>

country
<0776>_,

to make
<07760> (8800)

the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>

desolate
<08077>_,

[and] a den
<04583>

of dragons
<08577>_.

10:23

O LORD
<03068>_,

I know
<03045> (8804)

that the way
<01870>

of man
<0120>

[is] not in himself: [it is] not in man
<0376>

that walketh
<01980> (8802)

to direct
<03559> (8687)

his steps
<06806>_.

10:24

O LORD
<03068>_,

correct
<03256> (8761)

me, but with judgment
<04941>_;

not in thine anger
<0639>_,

lest thou bring me to nothing
<04591> (8686)_.

{bring...: Heb. diminish me}

10:25

Pour out
<08210> (8798)

thy fury
<02534>

upon the heathen
<01471>

that know
<03045> (8804)

thee not, and upon the families
<04940>

that call
<07121> (8804)

not on thy name
<08034>_:

for they have eaten up
<0398> (8804)

Jacob
<03290>_,

and devoured
<0398> (8804)

him, and consumed
<03615> (8762)

him, and have made his habitation
<05116>

desolate
<08074> (8689)_.
