“My tent has been destroyed, and all my cords are broken. My children have gone away from me, and they are no more. There is no one to spread my tent any more, to set up my curtains.”

Reading this verse in context

This page shows one verse on its own, which is rarely how it was written. Jeremiah 10 contains 25 verses, and the sentences either side usually decide what this one means. Read the whole chapter before you quote it.
