Jeremiah 12:7-17
7“I have 1forsakenH5800 My houseH1004, I have abandonedH5203 My inheritanceH5159; I have givenH5414 the 2belovedH3033 of My soulH5315 Into the handH3709 of her enemiesH340.8My inheritanceH5159 has becomeH1961 to Me Like a lionH743 in the forestH3293; She has 34roaredH5414H6963 againstH5921 Me; ThereforeH5921H3651 I have come to 5hateH8130 her.9Is My inheritanceH5159 like a speckledH6641 birdH5861 of preyH5861 to Me? Are the 6birdsH5861 of preyH5861 againstH5921 her on everyH5439 sideH5439? GoH1980, gatherH622 allH3605 the 7beastsH2421 of the fieldH7704, BringH857 them to devourH398!10ManyH7227 8shepherdsH7462 have ruinedH7843 My 9vineyardH3754, They have 10trampledH947 downH947 My fieldH2513; They have madeH5414 My 11pleasantH2532 fieldH2513 A desolateH8077 wildernessH4057.1112It has been madeH7760 a desolationH8077, DesolateH8076, it 13mournsH56 14beforeH5921 Me; The 15wholeH3605 landH776 has been madeH8074 desolateH8074, BecauseH3588 noH369 manH376 16laysH7760 it to heartH3820.12On allH3605 the 1718bareH8205 heightsH8205 in the wildernessH4057 DestroyersH7703 have comeH935, For a 19swordH2719 of the LordH3068 is devouringH398 From one endH7097 of the landH776 even to the 20otherH7097H776; ThereH369 is 21noH369 peaceH7965 for 22anyoneH3605H1320.13They have 23sownH2232 wheatH2406 and have reapedH7114 thornsH6975, They have 24strainedH2470 themselves 25to noH3808 profitH3276. But be ashamedH954 of your 2627harvestH8393 BecauseH4480 of the 28fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LordH3068.”
14ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 concerningH5921 allH3605 My 29wickedH7451 neighborsH7934 who 30strikeH5060 at the inheritanceH5159 with whichH834 I have endowedH5157 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, “BeholdH2009 I am about to uprootH5428 them from their landH127 and will 31uprootH5428 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 from amongH8432 them. 15And it will comeH1961 about that afterH310 I have uprootedH5428 them, I will 32againH7725 haveH7355 compassionH7355 on them; and I will 33bringH7725 them backH7725, eachH376 oneH376 to his inheritanceH5159 and eachH376 oneH376 to his landH776. 16Then ifH518 they will reallyH3925 34learnH3925 the waysH1870 of My peopleH5971, to 35swearH7650 by My nameH8034, ‘As the LordH3068 livesH2416,’ evenH3512 as they taughtH3925 My peopleH5971 to 36swearH7650 by BaalH1168, they will be 37builtH1129 up in the midstH8432 of My peopleH5971. 17But ifH518 they will not listenH8085, then I will 38uprootH5428 that nationH1471, uprootH5428 and destroyH6 it,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.
