Jeremiah 12:7-17
7“I have 1forsakenH5800 My houseH1004, I have abandonedH5203 My inheritanceH5159; I have handedH3709 the 2belovedH3033 of My soulH5315 OverH5414 to 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 ofH5861 preyH5861 to Me? Are the 6birdsH5861 ofH5861 preyH5861 againstH5921 her on everyH5439 sideH5439? GoH1980, gatherH622 allH3605 the 7animalsH2421 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 oneH376 16takesH7760 it to heartH3820.12On allH3605 the 1718bareH8205 heightsH8205 in the wildernessH4057 DestroyersH7703 have comeH935, For the 19swordH2719 of the LordH3068 is devouringH398 From one endH7097 of the landH776 even to the 20otherH7097H776; ThereH369 isH369 21noH369 peaceH7965 for 22anyoneH3605H1320.13They have 23sownH2232 wheatH2406 but have harvestedH7114 thornsH6975, They have 24strainedH2470 themselves 25to noH3808 profitH3276. So beH954 ashamedH954 of your 26produceH8393 BecauseH4480 of the 27fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LordH3068.”
14ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559 concerningH5921 allH3605 My 28wickedH7451 neighborsH7934 who 29doH5060 harmH5060 to the inheritanceH5159 with whichH834 I have endowedH5157 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: “BeholdH2009, I am going to driveH5428 them outH5428 of their landH127, and I will 30driveH5428 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 outH5428 from amongH8432 them. 15And it will comeH1961 aboutH1961 that afterH310 I have drivenH5428 them outH5428, I will 31againH7725 haveH7355 compassionH7355 onH7355 them; and I will 32bringH7725 them backH7725, eachH376 oneH376 to his inheritanceH5159 and eachH376 oneH376 to his landH776. 16Then, ifH518 they will reallyH3925 33learnH3925 the waysH1870 of My peopleH5971, to 34swearH7650 by My nameH8034, ‘As the LordH3068 livesH2416,’ justH3512 asH3512 they taughtH3925 My peopleH5971 to 35swearH7650 by BaalH1168, they will be 36builtH1129 upH1129 in the midstH8432 of My peopleH5971. 17But ifH518 they do not listenH8085, then I will 37driveH5428 outH5428 that nationH1471, driveH5428 it outH5428 and destroyH6 it,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.
