13When He utters His voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens,
         And He causes the clouds to ascend from the end of the earth;
         He makes lightning for the rain,
         And brings out the wind from His storehouses.

14Every man is stupid, devoid of knowledge;
         Every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols;
         For his molten images are deceitful,
         And there is no breath in them.

15They are worthless, a work of mockery;
         In the time of their punishment they will perish.

16The portion of Jacob is not like these;
         For the Maker of all is He,
         And Israel is the tribe of His inheritance;
         The LORD of hosts is His name.

17Pick up your bundle from the ground,
         You who dwell under siege!

18For thus says the LORD,
         “Behold, I am slinging out the inhabitants of the land
         At this time,
         And will cause them distress,
         That they may be found.”

19Woe is me, because of my injury!
         My wound is incurable.
         But I said, “Truly this is a sickness,
         And I must bear it.”

20My tent is destroyed,
         And all my ropes are broken;
         My sons have gone from me and are no more.
         There is no one to stretch out my tent again
         Or to set up my curtains.

21For the shepherds have become stupid
         And have not sought the LORD;
         Therefore they have not prospered,
         And all their flock is scattered.

22The sound of a report! Behold, it comes—
         A great commotion out of the land of the north—
         To make the cities of Judah
         A desolation, a haunt of jackals.

23I know, O LORD, that a man’s way is not in himself,
         Nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps.

24Correct me, O LORD, but with justice;
         Not with Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing.

25Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not know You
         And on the families that do not call Your name;
         For they have devoured Jacob;
         They have devoured him and consumed him
         And have laid waste his habitation.
