Jeremiah 12:11-13

Expanded Bible

¹¹ They have turned ·my field [^Lit] into ·a desert [desolation]
    that is ·wilted [desolate] and ·dead [^Lmourns].
The whole country is ·an empty desert [desolate],
    because no one ·who lives there cares [^Lsets it on heart].
¹² ·Many soldiers [^LDestroyers] have marched over those barren hills.
    ·The Lord is using the armies to punish that land [^LThe sword of the Lord devours]
from one end to the other.
    ·No one is safe [^LThere is no peace for all flesh].
¹³ The people have planted wheat,
    but they have harvested only thorns.
They have worked hard until they were very tired,
    but they have nothing for all their work.
They are ashamed of their poor harvest,
    because the Lord’s terrible anger has caused this.”
