11
They have made it a desolation. It mourns, desolate, before Me. All the land is desolate, but no one takes it to heart.
Jeremiah 12:11 In-Context
9
Has not my inheritance become to me like a speckled bird of prey that other birds of prey surround and attack? Go and gather all the wild beasts; bring them to devour.
10
Many shepherds will ruin my vineyard and trample down my field; they will turn my pleasant field into a desolate wasteland.
11
It will be made a wasteland, parched and desolate before me; the whole land will be laid waste because there is no one who cares.
12
Over all the barren heights in the desert destroyers will swarm, for the sword of the LORD will devour from one end of the land to the other; no one will be safe.
13
They will sow wheat but reap thorns; they will wear themselves out but gain nothing. They will bear the shame of their harvest because of the LORD’s fierce anger.”
