Jeremiah 12:7-13

The LORD Laments His Desolate Heritage

Jeremiah 12:7-13
7
"I have abandoned my house, I have rejected my heritage, I have given my heart's beloved over to the hands of her foes.
8
For me, my heritage has become like a lion in the forest - she roared out against me; so now I hate her.
9
For me, my heritage is like a speckled bird of prey - other birds of prey surround her and attack her. Go, gather all the wild animals, and bring them to devour her.
10
Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trampled my plot of land, they have turned my desirable property into a desert waste.
11
Yes, they have made it a waste; wasted, it mourns to me; the whole land is wasted, because nobody really cares."
12
On all the desert's bare hills plunderers have come; yes, the sword of ADONAI devours the land from one end to the other; nothing alive is safe.
13
They sowed wheat and reaped thorns, they wore themselves out and gained nothing. So be ashamed of your [tiny] harvest, the result of ADONAI's fierce anger.
