Jeremiah 12:10

8 My heritage is to Me like a lion in the forest;
It cries out against Me;
Therefore I have ^ahated it.

9 My¹ heritage is to Me like a speckled vulture;
The vultures all around are against her.
Come, assemble all the beasts of the field,
^aBring them to devour!

10 “Many ^arulers have destroyed ^bMy vineyard,
They have ^ctrodden My portion underfoot;
They have made My¹ pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.

11 They have made it ^adesolate;
Desolate, it mourns to Me;
The whole land is made desolate,
Because ^bno one takes it to heart.

12 The plunderers have come
On all the desolate heights in the wilderness,
For the sword of the Lord shall devour
From one end of the land to the other end of the land;
No flesh shall have peace.

13 ^aThey have¹ sown wheat but reaped thorns;
They have put themselves to pain but do not profit.
But be ashamed of your harvest
Because of the fierce anger of the Lord.”

14 Thus says the Lord: “Against all My evil neighbors who ^atouch the inheritance which I have caused My people Israel to inherit—behold, I will ^bpluck them out of their land and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.

15 ^aThen it shall be, after I have plucked them out, that I will return and have compassion on them ^band bring them back, everyone to his heritage and everyone to his land.

Jeremiah 12:10

Nebuchadnezzar and his confederate kings trampled Judah under foot, as heedless of the ruin they were inflicting as the shepherds would be who led their flocks to browse in spring upon the tender shoots of the vine.
