Jeremiah 12:11-13

Good News Translation

¹¹ They have made it a wasteland;
    it lies desolate before me.
The whole land has become a desert,
    and no one cares.
¹² Across all the desert highlands
    people have come to plunder.
I have sent war to destroy the entire land;
    no one can live in peace.
¹³ My people planted wheat, but gathered weeds;
    they have worked hard, but got nothing for it.
Because of my fierce anger
    their crops have failed.”
