Namiot mój zborzony jest, wszytki powrozy moje potargane są, synowie moi wyszli ode mnie i nie masz ich. Żadny nie jest, któryby miał rozbić namiot mój, a podnieść popony moje.
Namiot mój zburzony jest, i wszystkie powrozy moje porwane są; synowie moi poszli odemnie, i niemasz ich; niemasz, ktoby więcej rozbijał namiot mój, a rozciągał opony moje.
Tymczasem mój namiot zniszczony, zerwany każdy mój sznur. Moi synowie odeszli i oto jestem sama. Nie rozbiją już mojego namiotu i jego zasłon już nie rozwieszą.
Namiot mój zburzony jest, i wszystkie powrozy moje porwane są; synowie moi poszli odemnie, i niemasz ich; niemasz, ktoby więcej rozbijał namiot mój, a rozciągał opony moje.
Mój namiot został zburzony i wszystkie moje powrozy są zerwane. Moi synowie odeszli ode mnie i nie ma ich. Nie ma już nikogo, kto by rozbił mój namiot i rozciągnął moje zasłony.
Lecz mój namiot jest zniszczony i wszystkie moje sznury są zerwane: moi synowie odeszli ode mnie i nie ma ich. Nikt już nie rozepnie mojego namiotu, nikt nie rozciągnie moich zasłon.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
My tabernacle is spoiled,.... Not the temple at Jerusalem only, rather Jerusalem itself, as Kimchi; or the whole land, as the Targum,
"my land is wasted:''
the allusion is to the tents of shepherds, and denotes the unstable condition of the Jewish nation:
and all my cords are broken: all the rest of the cities of the land are destroyed, as Kimchi; and so the Targum,
"my cities are spoiled:''
as the cords are what the parts of the tabernacle or tent are fastened and kept together with, they may intend the strength of the nation, which lay in its wealth, its fortresses, and the numbers of its people, now weakened, loosed, and broke.
My children are gone forth of me; into captivity, as the Targum interprets it; the prophet, representing Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah. The Septuagint adds, "and my sheep"; keeping on the metaphor of a shepherd, his tent, and flock.
And they are not; either not in the world, being destroyed by one judgment or another; or rather not in their own land, being carried captive.
There is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains; which shows the great destruction and desolation of the land, and its inhabitants, that there would be none to set up a shepherd's tent; perhaps the rebuilding of Jerusalem, and the rest of the cities, may be meant.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The lamentation of the daughter of Zion, the Jewish Church, at the devastation of the land, and her humble prayer to God for mercy.
Jeremiah 10:19
Grievous - Rather, âmortal,â i. e., fatal, incurable.
A grief - Or, âmy grief.â
Jeremiah 10:20
tabernacle - i. e., âtent.â Jerusalem laments that her tent is plundered and her children carried into exile, and so âare not,â are dead Matthew 2:18, either absolutely, or dead to her in the remote land of their captivity. They can aid the widowed mother no longer in pitching her tent, or in hanging up the curtains round about it.
Jeremiah 10:21
Therefore they shall not prosper - Rather, âtherefore they have not governed wisely.â âThe pastors,â i. e., the kings and rulers Jeremiah 2:8, having sunk to the condition of barbarous and untutored men, could not govern wisely.
Jeremiah 10:22
The âgreat commotionâ is the confused noise of the army on its march (see Jeremiah 8:16).
Dragons - i. e., jackals; see the marginal reference.
Jeremiah 10:23
At the rumour of the enemyâs approach Jeremiah utters in the name of the nation a supplication appropriate to men overtaken by the divine justice.
Jeremiah 10:24
With judgment - In Jeremiah 30:11; Jeremiah 46:28, the word âjudgmentâ (with a different preposition) is rendered âin measure.â The contrast therefore is between punishment inflicted in anger, and that inflicted as a duty of justice, of which the object is the criminalâs reformation. Jeremiah prays that God would punish Jacob so far only as would bring him to true repentance, but that he would pour forth his anger upon the pagan, as upon that which opposes itself to God Jeremiah 10:25.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 10:20. My tabernacle is spoiled — The city is taken, and all our villages ruined and desolated.
