Jeremiah 10:21-23

Common English Bible

²¹ The shepherd kings have lost their senses
    and don’t seek answers from the Lord.
That is why they have failed
    and their flock is scattered.
²² Listen! The sound is getting louder,
    a mighty uproar from the land of the north;
    it will reduce the towns of Judah to ruins,
        a den for wild dogs.
²³ I know, Lord, that our lives are not our own,
    that we’re not able to direct our paths.
