Jeremiah 12:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 [a]They have sown wheat, and reaped thorns: they were [b]sick, and had no profit: and they were ashamed of [c]your fruits, because of the fierce wrath of the Lord.
14 Thus saith the Lord against all mine evil [d]neighbors, that touch the inheritance, which I have caused my people Israel to inherit, Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.
15 And after that I have plucked them out, I [e]will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring again 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.
