11. It will be made a wasteland,parched and desolate before me;the whole land will be laid wastebecause there is no one who cares.
12. Over all the barren heights in the desertdestroyers will swarm,for the sword of the Lord will devourfrom 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.They will bear the shame of their harvestbecause of the Lord’s fierce anger.’
