The Trampled Vineyard and the Return · Jeremiah 12

Open this scene in the reader →

10Many shepherds have ruined my vineyard; they have trampled my portion; they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.

11They have made it a desolation; it mourns before me, desolate. The whole land is laid waste, because no one takes it to heart.

12Upon all the bare heights in the wilderness destroyers have come, for the sword of Yahweh is devouring from one end of the land to the other end of the land; there is no peace for any flesh.

13They have sown wheat, but they have reaped thorns; they have exhausted themselves, but they profit nothing. Be ashamed of your produce because of the burning anger of Yahweh.
