21 The shepherds are stupid.They don’t ask the Lord.So they do not have success.Their flocks are scattered and lost.
22 Listen! The news is coming.The loud noise is coming from the north.It will make the towns of Judah an empty desert.They will become a home for wild dogs!
23 Lord, I know that a person’s life doesn’t really belong to him.No one can control his own life.
24 Lord, correct me, but be fair.Don’t punish me in anger.If you do, you will destroy me.
25 Pour out your anger on other nations.They do not know you.They do not pray to you.Those nations have destroyed Jacob’s family.They have eaten him up.They destroyed his homeland.
