²⁰My tabernacle is laid waste, all my cords are broken: my children are gone out from me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.

²¹Because the pastors have done foolishly, and have not sought the Lord: therefore have they not understood, and all their flock is scattered.

²²Behold the sound of a noise cometh, a great commotion out of the land of the north: to make the cities of Juda a desert, and a dwelling for dragons.

²³I know, O Lord, that the way of a man is not his: neither is it in a man to walk, and to direct his steps.

²⁴Correct me, O Lord, but yet with judgment: and not in thy fury, lest thou bring me to nothing.

²⁵Pour out thy indignation upon the nations that have not known thee, and upon the provinces that have not called upon thy name: because they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have destroyed his glory.

Read in Logos

Jeremiah 10:23: I know, O LORD, that the way of man is not in himself, that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
