Jeremiah 12:7-17
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.
14This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: “As forH5921 allH3605 My evilH7451 neighborsH7934 who attackH5060 the inheritanceH5159 thatH834 I bequeathedH5157 to My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478H2005, I am about to uproot themH5428 fromH5921 their landH127, andH853 I will uprootH5428 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 from among themH8432. 15ButH1961 afterH310 I have uprooted themH5428, I will once againH7725 have compassion on themH7355 and returnH7725 each oneH376 to his inheritanceH5159H376 and to his landH776.
16AndH1961 ifH518 they will diligently learnH3925 the waysH1870 of My peopleH5971 and swearH7650 by My nameH8034, saying, ‘As surely as the LORDH3068 livesH2416’—just asH834 they once taughtH3925 My peopleH5971 to swearH7650 by BaalH1168—then they will be establishedH1129 amongH8432 My peopleH5971. 17But ifH518 they will notH3808 obeyH8085, then I will uprootH5428 thatH1931 nationH1471; I will uproot itH5428 and destroy itH6, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.”
