It cries out against Me;
Therefore I have ahated it.
The vultures all around are against her.
Come, assemble all the beasts of the field,
aBring them to devour!
They have ctrodden My portion underfoot;
They have made My1 pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
Desolate, it mourns to Me;
The whole land is made desolate,
Because bno one takes it to heart.
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.
They have put themselves to pain but do not profit.
But be ashamed of your harvest
Because of the fierce anger of the Lord.”
| << Jeremiah 12:9 | Jeremiah 12:11 >> |
