20 My tent¹ is destroyed; all its ropes are snapped. My sons are gone from me and are no more;² no one is left now to pitch my tent or to set up my shelter. 21 The shepherds³ are senseless⁴ and do not inquire of the LORD;⁵ so they do not prosper⁶ and all their flock is scattered.⁷ 22 Listen! The report is coming-- a great commotion from the land of the north!⁸ It will make the towns of Judah desolate,⁹ a haunt of jackals.¹⁰

23 I know, O LORD, that a man's life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps.¹¹ 24 Correct me, LORD, but only with justice-- not in your anger,¹² lest you reduce me to nothing.¹³¹⁴ 25 Pour out your wrath on the nations¹⁵ that do not acknowledge you, on the peoples who do not call on your name.¹⁶ For they have devoured¹⁷ Jacob; they have devoured him completely and destroyed his homeland.¹⁸
