Jeremiah 12:7-13

7“I have forsaken My house, I have left My heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of My soul into the hand of her enemies.

8My heritage is to Me like a lion in the forest; It cries out against Me; Therefore I have hated it.

9My heritage is to Me like a speckled vulture; The vultures all around are against her. Come, assemble all the beasts of the field, Bring them to devour!

10“Many rulers have destroyed My vineyard, They have trodden My portion underfoot; They have made My pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.

11They have made it desolate; Desolate, it mourns to Me; The whole land is made desolate, Because no one takes it to heart.

12The plunderers have come On all the desolate heights in the wilderness, For the sword of the Lord shall devour From one end of the land to the other end of the land; No flesh shall have peace.

13They have sown wheat but reaped thorns; They have put themselves to pain but do not profit. But be ashamed of your harvest Because of the fierce anger of the Lord.”
