updv - Jeremiah:12:5-17

updv@Jeremiah:12:5 @ If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? And though in a land of peace you are secure, yet how will you do in the pride of the Jordan?

updv@Jeremiah:12:6 @ For even your brothers, and the house of your father, even they have betrayed you; even they have cried aloud after you: don't believe them, though they speak fair words to you.

updv@Jeremiah:12:7 @ I have forsaken my house, I have cast off my heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.

updv@Jeremiah:12:8 @ My heritage has become to me as a lion in the forest: she has uttered her voice against me; therefore I have hated her.

updv@Jeremiah:12:9 @ Is my heritage to me as a speckled bird of prey? Are the birds of prey against her round about? Go(note:){+}(:note), assemble{+} all the beasts of the field, bring{+} them to devour.

updv@Jeremiah:12:10 @ Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.

updv@Jeremiah:12:11 @ They have made it a desolation; it mourns to me, being desolate; the whole land is made desolate, because no man lays it to heart.

updv@Jeremiah:12:12 @ Destroyers have come upon all the bare heights in the wilderness; for the sword of Yahweh devours from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh has peace.

updv@Jeremiah:12:13 @ They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns; they have tired themselves out, and profit nothing. And be(note:){+}(:note) ashamed of your{+} fruits, because of the fierce anger of Yahweh.

updv@Jeremiah:12:14 @ Thus says Yahweh against all my evil neighbors, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: look, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from among them.

updv@Jeremiah:12:15 @ And it will come to pass, after that I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them; and I will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.

updv@Jeremiah:12:16 @ And it will come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, As Yahweh lives; even as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then they will be built up in the midst of my people.

updv@Jeremiah:12:17 @ But if they will not hear, then I will pluck up that nation, plucking up and destroying it, says Yahweh.
