Jeremiah 12:10-12

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰ Many shepherds will destroy my vineyard.
    They will walk all over it.
They will turn my pleasant vineyard
    into a dry and empty land.
¹¹ My vineyard will become a desert.
    It will be dry and empty in my sight.
The whole land will be completely destroyed.
    And no one even cares.
¹² Many will come to destroy it.
    They will gather on the bare hilltops in the desert.
I will use them as my sword to destroy my people.
    They will kill them from one end of the land to the other.
    No one will be safe.
