Jeremiah 12:5,12-14
5.) If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out,
how can you compete with horses?
If you stumble in safe country, how will you manage in the
thickets by the Jordan?
12.) Over all the barren heights in the desert destroyers will swarm,
for the sword of the Lord will devour from one end of the land to the other;
no one will be safe.
13.) They will sow wheat but reap thorns;
they will wear themselves out but gain nothing.
So bear the shame of your harvest because of the Lord's
fierce anger.
14.) This is what the Lord says:
As for all my wicked neighbors who seize the inheritance
I gave my people Israel,
I will uproot them from their lands and I will uproot the house
of Judah from among them.
But after I uproot them, I will again have compassion
and will bring each of them back to his own inheritance
and his own country.
