Jeremiah 12:12-14
Holman Christian Standard Bible
12 Over all the barren heights in the wilderness
the destroyers have come,
for the Lord has a sword that devours
from one end of the earth to the other.
No one has peace.(A)
13 They have sown wheat but harvested thorns.(B)
They have exhausted themselves but have no profit.(C)
Be put to shame by your harvests
because of the Lord’s burning anger.(D)
14 This is what the Lord says: “Concerning all My evil neighbors who attack the inheritance that I bequeathed to My people, Israel, I am about to uproot them(E) from their land, and I will uproot the house of Judah from them.
