Jeremiah 10:20

My tent, is laid waste, And all my tent-cords, are broken,—My children, are gone forth from me and they, are not. There is none, To stretch out any more my tent, Or to set up my curtains.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
