11 They have turned my field into a desert
    that is wilted and dead.
The whole country is an empty desert,
    because no one who lives there cares.
12 Many soldiers have marched over those barren hills.
    The Lord is using the armies to punish that land
from one end to the other.
    No one is safe.
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.”
