Jeremiah 12:13-15
New Catholic Bible
13 Men have sown wheat only to reap thorns;
they have worked to the point of exhaustion
but have profited nothing.
Their harvests are a source of disappointment
because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
14 Judah’s Evil Neighbors. Thus says the Lord, “As for all my evil neighbors who have seized the inheritance I gave to my people Israel, I will uproot them from their land, and from among them I will uproot the house of Judah. 15 But after I uproot them, I will again take pity on them and bring them back, each one to his own heritage and his own land.
