Jeremiah 10:22-1964 in the Bible in Basic English reads: “News is going about, see, it is coming, a great shaking is coming from the north country, so that the towns of Judah may be made waste and become the living-place of jackals. O Lord, I am conscious that a man's way is not in himself: man has no power of guiding his steps. O Lord, put me right, but with wise purpose; not in your wrath, or you will make me small. Let your wrath be let loose on the nations which have no knowledge of you, and on the families who give no worship to your name: for they have made a meal of Jacob, truly they have made a meal of him and put an end to him and made his fields a waste.”
