Jeremiah 12:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 The destroyers are come upon all the high places in the wilderness: for the sword of the Lord shall devour from the one end of the land, even to the other end of the land: no flesh shall have peace.
13 [a]They have sown wheat, and reaped thorns: they were [b]sick, and had no profit: and they were ashamed of [c]your fruits, because of the fierce wrath of the Lord.
14 Thus saith the Lord against all mine evil [d]neighbors, that touch the inheritance, which I have caused my people Israel to inherit, Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.
