11 My vineyard will become a desert.
    It will be dry and empty in my sight.
The whole land will be completely destroyed.
    And no one even cares.
12 Many will come to destroy it.
    They will gather on the bare hilltops in the desert.
I will use them as my sword to destroy my people.
    They will kill them from one end of the land to the other.
    No one will be safe.
13 People will plant wheat. But all they will gather is thorns.
    They will wear themselves out. But they will not have anything to show for it.
I am very angry with them.
    So they will be ashamed of the crop they gather.”

11 It will be made a wasteland,(A)
    parched and desolate before me;(B)
the whole land will be laid waste
    because there is no one who cares.
12 Over all the barren heights in the desert
    destroyers will swarm,
for the sword(C) of the Lord(D) will devour(E)
    from one end of the land to the other;(F)
    no one will be safe.(G)
13 They will sow wheat but reap thorns;
    they will wear themselves out but gain nothing.(H)
They will bear the shame of their harvest
    because of the Lord’s fierce anger.”(I)

11 They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.

12 The spoilers are come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of the Lord shall devour from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh shall have peace.

13 They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
