Jeremiah 12:4-8 Till when does the earth mourn, And the herb of the whole field wither? For the wickedness of those dwelling in it, Consumed have been beast and fowl, Because they said, `He does not see our latter end.'"

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Till when does the earth mourn, And the herb of the whole field wither? For the wickedness of those dwelling in it, Consumed have been beast and fowl, Because they said, `He does not see our latter end.'" ⁵ For--with footmen you have run, And they weary you, And how do you fret yourself with horses! Even in the land of peace, [In which] you are confident--And how do you in the rising of Jordan!" ⁶ For even your brethren and the house of your father, Even they dealt treacherously against you, Even they--they called after you fully, Trust not in them, when they speak to you good things." ⁷ I have forsaken My house, I have left Mine inheritance, I have given the beloved of My soul Into the hand of her enemies." ⁸ Mine inheritance has been to Me as a lion in a forest, She gave forth against Me with her voice, Therefore I have hated her."
