Jeremiah 10:21

Jeremiah 10:21 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

21The shepherds are senseless

and do not inquire of the Lord;

so they do not prosper

and all their flock is scattered.

21For the shepherds have become stupid

And have not sought the Lord.

Therefore they have not prospered,

And all their flock is scattered.

21For the shepherds have become stupid

And have not sought the Lord;

Therefore they have not prospered,

And all their flock is scattered.

21For the shepherds [of the people] have become [like brutes,] irrational and stupid,

And have not searched for the Lord or asked about Him or realized their need for Him;

Therefore they have not been wise and have not prospered,

And all their flocks are scattered.

21For the shepherds have become senseless;

they do not seek the Lord.

Therefore they have not prospered,

and all their flock is scattered.

21The leaders of my people are like shepherds

who don’t have any sense.

They don’t ask the Lord for advice.

That’s why they don’t succeed.

And that’s why their whole flock

is scattered like sheep.
