Jeremiah 12:7-13
7I have forsaken My house; I have abandoned My inheritance. I have given the beloved of My soul into the hands of her enemies.8My inheritance has become to Me like a lion in the forest. She has roared against Me; therefore I hate her.9Is not My inheritance to Me like a speckled bird of prey with other birds of prey1 circling against her? Go, gather all the beasts of the field; bring them to devour her.
10Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard;they have trampled My plot of ground.They have turned My pleasant fieldinto a desolate wasteland.11They have made it a desolation;desolate before Me, it mourns.All the land is laid waste,but no man takes it to heart.12Over all the barren heights in the wildernessthe destroyers have come,for the sword of the LORD devoursfrom one end of the earth to the other.No flesh has peace.
13They have sown wheat but harvested thorns.They have exhausted themselves to no avail.Bear the shame of your harvestbecause of the fierce anger of the LORD.”
