Jeremiah 10:18 Context
16The portion of Iacob is not like them: for he is the fourmer of all things, and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the Lord of hostes is his Name. 17¶ Gather vp thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortresse. 18For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distresse them, that they may find it so. 19¶ Woe is mee for my hurt, my wound is grieuous: but I sayd, Truely this is a griefe, and I must beare it. 20My Tabernacle is spoyled, and all my cordes are broken: my children are gone foorth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch foorth my tent any more, and to set vp my curtaines.

Wesley's Notes for Jeremiah 10:18
10:18 Sing out - It denotes with how much violence and ease the Chaldeans shall hurry away the people into Babylon. And therefore it is said at this once, I will make one thorough quick work of it. May find it so - Though they would never believe it, yet they shall actually find the truth of my threatenings.
