Jeremiah 12:11

The Lord's Reply

¹⁰ Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard;
they have trampled My plot of land.
They have turned My desirable plot
into a desolate wasteland.
¹¹ They have made it a desolation.
It mourns, desolate, before Me.
All the land is desolate,
but no one takes it to heart.
¹² Over all the barren heights in the wilderness
the destroyers have come,
for the Lord has a sword that devours
from one end of the earth to the other.
No one has peace.
