Jeremiah 12:7-14

7I have forsaken my houseH1004, I have cast off my heritage, I have givenH5414 the beloved of my soulH5315 into the handH3709 of her enemiesH341.

8My heritage is becomeH1961 unto me as a lionH738 in the forestH3293; it hath raised its voiceH6963 against me: thereforeH3651 have I hatedH8130 it.

9My heritage is unto me [as] a speckled birdH5861 of preyH5861; the birdsH5861 of preyH5861 roundH5439 about are against her. Go, 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; desolateH8074, it mourneth unto me: the whole landH776 is madeH7760 desolateH8074, for no manH376 layeth it to heartH3820.

12Spoilers are comeH935 upon all heightsH8205 in the wildernessH4057; for the swordH2719 of Jehovah devoureth from one endH7097 of the landH776 even to the [other] endH7097 of the landH776: no fleshH1320 hath peaceH7965.

13They have sownH2232 wheatH2406, and they reapH7114 thornsH6975; they have putH954 themselves to pain, [and] do not profitH3276. Be ye therefore ashamedH954 of your revenues, because of the fierce angerH639 of Jehovah.

14ThusH3541 saith Jehovah against all mine evilH7451 neighbours, that touchH5060 the inheritanceH5159 which I have caused my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 to inheritH5157: Behold, I will pluckH5428 them up out of their landH127, and pluckH5428 out the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 from among them.
