18 This is what Yahweh says:

I am going to throw out those who live in the land at this time
    and cause trouble for them so that they will feel it.

19 Oh, I’m wounded!
    My wound is serious.
    Then I thought that this is my punishment, and I will bear it.
20 My tent is destroyed, and all my ropes are broken.

            or put up my tent 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

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.
