Jeremiah 12:7-13

7I have forsaken my houseH1004, I have cast off my heritage; I have givenH5414 the dearly beloved of my soulH5315 into the handH3709 of her enemiesH341. 8My heritage is becomeH1961 unto me as a lionH738 in the forestH3293: she hath uttered her voiceH6963 against me; thereforeH3651 I have hatedH8130 her. 9Is my heritage unto me as a speckled birdH5861 of preyH5861? are the birdsH5861 of preyH5861 against her roundH5439 about? go ye, assemble all the beasts of the fieldH7704, bringH857 them to devour. 10ManyH7227 shepherdsH7462 have destroyedH7843 my vineyardH3754, they have troddenH947 my portionH2513 under foot, they have madeH5414 my pleasant portionH2513 a desolate wildernessH4057. 11They have madeH7760 it a desolationH8077; it mourneth unto me, being desolateH8074; the whole landH776 is madeH7760 desolateH8074, because no manH376 layeth it to heartH3820. 12DestroyersH7703 are comeH935 upon all the bareH8205 heightsH8205 in the wildernessH4057; for the swordH2719 of Jehovah devoureth from the one endH7097 of the landH776 even to the other endH7097 of the landH776: no fleshH1320 hath peaceH7965. 13They have sownH2232 wheatH2406, and have reaped thornsH6975; they have putH954 themselves to pain, and profitH3276 nothing: and ye shall be ashamedH954 of your fruits, because of the fierce angerH639 of Jehovah.
