Jeremiah 12:7-13

7“I have abandoned My House. I have forsaken My inheritance. I have given the beloved of My soul Into the hand of her enemies.

8My inheritance became to Me like a lion in the forest— her voice roared against Me! Therefore I despised her.

9Is My inheritance a speckled vulture? Are vultures circling all around her? Go, gather all the wild beasts, bring them for devouring!

10“Many shepherds ruined My vineyard. They trampled My property. They made My pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.

11They made it a wasteland. It mourns before Me, desolate. The whole land will be laid waste, because no one takes it to heart.”

12On all the bare hills in the wilderness destroyers have come. For the sword of Adonai is devouring from the one end of the land to the other end of the land. No flesh has shalom.

13They sowed wheat but reaped thorns. They wore themselves out, gaining nothing. So be ashamed of your harvest, because of Adonai’s fierce anger.
