Jeremiah 12:7-13

7I have abandoned my house; I have deserted my inheritance. I have handed the love of my life over to her enemies.

8My inheritance has behaved toward me like a lion in the forest. She has roared against me. Therefore, I hate her.

9Is my inheritance like a hyena to me? Are birds of prey circling her? Go, gather all the wild animals; bring them to devour her.

10Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard; they have trampled my plot of land. They have turned my desirable plot into a desolate wasteland.

11They have made it a desolation. It mourns, desolate, before me. All the land is desolate, but no one takes it to heart.

12Over all the barren heights in the wilderness the destroyers have come, for the Lord has a sword that devours from one end of the earth to the other. No one has peace.

13They have sown wheat but harvested thorns. They have exhausted themselves but have no profit. Be put to shame by your harvests because of the Lord’s burning anger.
