Yeremia 10:22

10:22 Listen! News is coming even now. ¹

It is coming to turn the towns of Judah into rubble,

places where only jackals live.

Yeremia 30:14-15

30:14 All your allies have abandoned you. ⁴ 

They no longer have any concern for you.

For I have attacked you like an enemy would.

I have chastened you cruelly.

For your wickedness is so great

and your sin is so much. ⁵ 

30:15 Why do you complain about your injuries,

that your pain is incurable?

I have done all this to you

because your wickedness is so great

and your sin is so much.
