Jeremiah 12:7-17
7I have forsakenH5203 mine houseH1004, I have castH5414 offH5414 mine heritageH5159; I have givenH5414 the dearly belovedH3033 of my soulH5315 intoH5414 the handH3709 of herH5414 enemiesH341. 8Mine heritageH5159 is becomeH1961 unto meH5414 as a lionH738 in the forestH3293: sheH3651 hath utteredH5414 herH5921 voiceH6963 againstH5921 meH5414; therefore I have hatedH8130 herH5921. 9Is mine heritageH5159 unto meH5921 as a speckledH6641 birdH5861 of preyH5861? are the birdsH5861 of preyH5861 againstH5921 herH3605 roundH5439 aboutH5439? goH622 ye, assembleH622 allH3605 the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704, bringH857 them to devour. 10ManyH7227 shepherdsH7462 have destroyedH7843 my vineyardH3754, they have troddenH947 my portionH2513 under foot, they have madeH5414 my pleasantH2532 portionH2513 a desolateH8077 wildernessH4057. 11They have madeH7760 it a desolationH8077; it mourneth unto meH5921, being desolateH8074; the wholeH3605 landH776 is madeH7760 desolateH8074, becauseH3588 noH369 manH376 layeth it to heartH3820. 12Spoilers are comeH935 uponH5921 allH3605 the bareH8205 heightsH8205 in the wildernessH4057: for the swordH2719 of the LORDH3068 devoureth from the one endH7097 of the landH776 evenH5704 to the otherH3605 endH7097 of the landH776: noH369 fleshH1320 hath peaceH7965. 13They have sownH2232 wheatH2406, and have reaped thornsH6975; they have putH954 themselves to pain, and profitH3276 nothingH3808: and ye shall be ashamedH954 of your fruits, because of the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068. 14ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 againstH5921 allH3605 mine evilH7451 neighbours, that touchH5060 the inheritanceH5159 whichH834 I have causedH834 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 to inheritH5157: BeholdH2005, I will pluckH5428 them upH5921 from offH5921 their landH127, and will pluckH5428 upH5921 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 from among them. 15And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961, afterH310 that I have pluckedH5428 them upH853, I will returnH7725 and have compassionH7355 on them; and I will bringH7725 them againH7725, everyH376 manH376 to his heritageH5159, and everyH376 manH376 to his landH776. 16and it shall comeH1961 to passH1961, ifH518 they will diligently learnH3925 the waysH1870 of my peopleH5971, to swearH7650 by my nameH8034, As the LORDH3068 liveth; evenH518 as they taughtH3925 my peopleH5971 to swearH7650 by BaalH1168; then shall they be builtH1129 upH1129 in the midstH8432 of my peopleH5971. 17But ifH518 they will notH3808 hearH8085, then will I pluckH5428 upH853 that nationH1471, plucking upH853 and destroyingH6 it, saith the LORDH3068.
