Jeremiah 10:16-18

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁶ Not like these is the Lord,^[a] the portion of Jacob,
    for he is the one who formed all things,
and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;
    the Lord of hosts is his name.

¹⁷ Gather up your bundle from the ground,
    O you who live under siege!
¹⁸ For thus says the Lord:
I am going to fling away the inhabitants of the land
    at this time,
and I will bring distress on them,
    so that they shall feel it.
