Jeremiah 10:21-23

Easy-to-Read Version

²¹The shepherds are stupid.
    They don’t try to find the Lord.
They are not wise,
    so their flocks are scattered and lost.
²²Listen! A loud noise!
    The noise is coming from the north.^[a]
It will destroy the cities of Judah.
    Judah will become an empty desert.
    It will be a home for jackals.

²³Lord, I know that our lives do not belong to us.
We have no control over what happens.
