12 On all the [a](A)bare heights in the wilderness
Destroyers have come,
For the (B)sword of the Lord is devouring
From one end of the land even to the [b]other;
There is (C)no peace for [c]anyone.
13 They have (D)sown wheat but have harvested thorns,
They have (E)strained themselves [d]to no profit.
So be ashamed of your (F)produce
Because of the (G)fierce anger of the Lord.”

14 This is what the Lord says concerning all My (H)wicked neighbors who (I)do harm to the inheritance with which I have endowed My people Israel: “Behold, I am going to drive them out of their land, and I will (J)drive the house of Judah out from among them.
