Jeremiah 12:13
Compare all
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 12:13

Shall not profit - All the works of their hands, all their counsels and deliberations should be of no profit unto them. Because - The fierce anger of God shall be so shewed, that the returns of their labours or estates, the profits of their trades, shall be so small, that they shall be ashamed of them.
