The Lord Answers Jeremiah

5 “If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you,
Then how can you contend with horses?
And if in the land of peace,
In which you trusted, they wearied you,
Then how will you do in athe floodplain of the Jordan? 
6 For even ayour brothers, the house of your father,
Even they have dealt treacherously with you;
Yes, they have called1 a multitude after you.
bDo not believe them,
Even though they speak1 smooth words to you. 
7 “I have forsaken My house, I have left My heritage;
I have given the dearly beloved of My soul into the hand of her enemies.
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.
