ylt @Jeremiah:12:5 @For -- with footmen thou hast run , And they weary thee , And how dost thou fret thyself with horses ! Even in the land of peace , [In which ] thou art confident -- And how dost thou in the rising of Jordan ! ylt @Jeremiah:12:6 @For even thy brethren and the house of thy father , Even they dealt treacherously against thee , Even they -- they called after thee fully , Trust not in them , when they speak to thee good things . ylt @Jeremiah:12:7 @I have forsaken My house , I have left Mine inheritance , I have given the beloved of My soul Into the hand of her enemies . ylt @Jeremiah:12:8 @Mine inheritance hath been to Me as a lion in a forest , She gave forth against Me with her voice , Therefore I have hated her . ylt @Jeremiah:12:9 @A speckled fowl [is ] Mine inheritance to Me ? Is the fowl round about against her ? Come , assemble , every beast of the field , Come ye for food . ylt @Jeremiah:12:10 @Many shepherds did destroy My vineyard , They have trodden down My portion , They have made My desirable portion Become a wilderness -- a desolation . ylt @Jeremiah:12:11 @He hath made it become a desolation , The desolation hath mourned unto Me , Desolated hath been all the land , But there is no one laying it to heart . ylt @Jeremiah:12:12 @On all high places in the plain have spoilers come in , For the sword of Jehovah is consuming , From the end of the land even unto the end of the land , There is no peace to any flesh . ylt @Jeremiah:12:13 @They sowed wheat , and have thorns reaped , They have become sick -- they profit not , And they have been ashamed of your increases , Because of the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah . ylt @Jeremiah:12:14 @Thus said Jehovah concerning all my evil neighbours , who are striking against the inheritance that I caused my people -- Israel -- to inherit : 'Lo , I am plucking them from off their ground , And the house of Judah I pluck out of their midst . ylt @Jeremiah:12:15 @And it hath been , after My plucking them out , I turn back , and have pitied them , And I have brought them back , Each to his inheritance , and each to his land . ylt @Jeremiah:12:16 @And it hath come to pass , If they learn well the ways of My people , To swear by My name , 'Jehovah liveth ,' As they taught My people to swear by Baal , Then they have been built up in the midst of My people . ylt @Jeremiah:12:17 @And if they do not hearken , Then I have plucked up that nation , Plucking up and destroying , An affirmation of Jehovah !'
