Jeremiah 10:18-20

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁹ Woe is me because of my hurt!
    My wound is grievous.
But I said, “Truly this is an affliction,
    and I must bear it.”
²⁰ My tent is destroyed,
    and all my cords are broken;
my children have gone from me,
    and they are not;
there is no one to spread my tent again,
    and to set up my curtains.
