Jeremiah 12:11-13

EasyEnglish Bible

¹¹ They will make it a dry and empty place,
    where nobody lives and nothing grows.
The whole land will be like a desert.
    There will be nobody to take care of it.
¹² Soldiers will march over the hills in the wilderness.
    They will come to destroy the whole land.
I, the Lord, will use them as my weapon.
    I will punish everyone.
    Nobody will be safe.
¹³ My people will plant seeds of wheat,
    but they will only have weeds at harvest time.
They will work very hard,
    but they will get nothing.
At harvest time,
    they will have no crops to be proud of.
Because I am very angry,
    they will not have any food.’
