Jeremiah 12:13-15
Modern English Version
13 They have sown wheat, but reap thorns;
they have strained themselves, but shall not profit.
And they shall be ashamed of your harvest
because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
14 Thus says the Lord: Against all My evil neighbors who touch the inheritance which I have caused My people Israel to inherit, I will pluck them out of their land and pluck out the house of Judah from among them. 15 It shall come to pass that after I have plucked them out, I will again have compassion on them, and will bring them back, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.

Jeremiah 12:13-15
New International Version
13 They will sow wheat but reap thorns;
they will wear themselves out but gain nothing.(A)
They will bear the shame of their harvest
because of the Lord’s fierce anger.”(B)
14 This is what the Lord says: “As for all my wicked neighbors who seize the inheritance(C) I gave my people Israel, I will uproot(D) them from their lands and I will uproot(E) the people of Judah from among them. 15 But after I uproot them, I will again have compassion(F) and will bring(G) each of them back to their own inheritance and their own country.
