Jeremiah 12:7–13

⁷I have forsaken mine house, I have left ^tmine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies. ^8tMine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it. ⁹Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled ^ubird, ^uthe birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, ^vcome to devour. ¹⁰Many ^wpastors have destroyed ^xmy vineyard, ^ythey have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. ¹¹They have made it desolate, and being desolate ⁿit mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man ^zlayeth it to heart. ¹²The spoilers are come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of the Lord shall devour from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh shall have peace. ^13aThey have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: ^bthey have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of ^cyour revenues ^dbecause of the fierce anger of the Lord.
