Jeremiah 12:7-13

7"I have forsaken my house; I have abandoned my heritage; I have given the beloved of my soul into the hands of her enemies.

8My heritage has become to me like a lion in the forest; she has lifted up her voice against me; therefore I hate her.

9Is my heritage to me like a hyena's lair? Are the birds of prey against her all around? Go, assemble all the wild beasts; bring them to devour.

10Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard; they have trampled down my portion; they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.

11They have made it a desolation; desolate, it mourns to me. The whole land is made desolate, but no man lays it to heart.

12Upon all the bare heights in the desert destroyers have come, for the sword of the Lord devours from one end of the land to the other; no flesh has peace.

13They have sown wheat and have reaped thorns; they have tired themselves out but profit nothing. They shall be ashamed of their harvests because of the fierce anger of the Lord."
