18 For thus says Yahweh,

“Behold, I am (A)slinging out the inhabitants of the land
At this time,
And will cause them distress,
That they may find it.”

19 (B)Woe is me, because of my [a]injury!
My (C)wound is desperately sick.
But I said, “Truly this is a sickness,
And I (D)must bear it.”
20 My (E)tent is destroyed,
And all my ropes are torn out;
My (F)sons have gone from me and are no more.
There is (G)no one to stretch out my tent again
Or to set up my curtains.

18 For this is what the Lord says:
    “At this time I will hurl(A) out
    those who live in this land;
I will bring distress(B) on them
    so that they may be captured.”

19 Woe to me because of my injury!
    My wound(C) is incurable!
Yet I said to myself,
    “This is my sickness, and I must endure(D) it.”
20 My tent(E) is destroyed;
    all its ropes are snapped.
My children are gone from me and are no more;(F)
    no one is left now to pitch my tent
    or to set up my shelter.
