Jeremiah 12:12-14
International Standard Version
12 On all the barren heights in the desert
destroyers will come.
Indeed, a sword of the Lord will devour from
one end of the land to the other.
There will be no peace[a] for any person.[b]
13 They have sown wheat,
but they have harvested thorns.
They have tired themselves out,
but they don’t show a profit.
Now be disappointed about your harvest
because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
God’s Word about Judah’s Neighbors
14 This is what the Lord says about all the wicked neighbors who strike out against the land[c] I’ve given to my people Israel as their inheritance:[d] “I’m about to uproot them from their land, and I’ll uproot the house of Judah from among them.
