Jeremiah 12:7-13

7I have forsakenH5800 My houseH1004; I have abandonedH5203 My inheritanceH5159. I have givenH5414 the belovedH3033 of My soulH5315 into the handsH3709 of her enemiesH341.8My inheritanceH5159 has becomeH1961 to Me like a lionH738 in the forestH3293. She has roaredH5414H6963 against MeH5921; thereforeH5921H3651 I hate herH8130.9Is not My inheritanceH5159 to Me like a speckledH6641 bird of preyH5861 with other birds of preyH58611 circlingH5439 against herH5921? GoH1980, gatherH622 allH3605 the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704; bring themH857 to devour herH402.

10ManyH7227 shepherdsH7462 have destroyedH7843 My vineyardH3754;they have trampledH947 My plot of groundH2513.They have turnedH5414 My pleasantH2532 fieldH2513into a desolateH8077 wastelandH4057.11They have madeH7760 it a desolationH8077;desolateH8076 before MeH5921, it mournsH56.AllH3605 the landH776 is laid wasteH8074,butH3588 noH369 manH376 takesH7760 it toH5921 heartH3820.12OverH5921 allH3605 the barren heightsH8205 in the wildernessH4057the destroyersH7703 have comeH935,forH3588 the swordH2719 of the LORDH3068 devoursH398from one endH7097 of the earthH776 toH5704 the otherH7097H776.NoH369H3605 fleshH1320 has peaceH7965.
13They have sownH2232 wheatH2406 but harvestedH7114 thornsH6975.They have exhausted themselvesH2470 to noH3808 availH3276.Bear the shameH954 of your harvestH8393because of the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068.”
