Jeremiah 12:7-13 - The Lord's Sorrow Because Of His People

⁷ I forsook my house, I rejected mine inheritance; I gave the beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies. ⁸ My inheritance was to me as a lion in the forest; she gave upon me with her voice: for this I hated her. ⁹ The ravenous hyena is my inheritance to me, rushing round about upon her; go ye, gather together all the beasts of the field, set ye upon to eat her. ¹⁰ Many shepherds destroyed my vineyard, they trod down my portion, they gave the portion of my desire for a desert of desolation. ¹¹ Setting her for a desolation, she mourned to me; all the land was set a desolation, for no man put upon his heart ¹² They spoiling came upon all the hills of the desert: for the sword of Jehovah consumed from the extremity of the land even to extremity of the land: no peace to all flesh. ¹³ They sowed wheat and they reaped thorns: they were wearied, they shall not profit; and they were ashamed of your gains from the burning of the anger of Jehovah.
