Jeremiah 12:13-15

Easy-to-Read Version

¹³The people will plant wheat,
    but they will harvest only thorns.
They will work hard until they are very tired,
    but they will get nothing for all their work.
They will be ashamed of their crop.
    The Lord’s anger caused this.”

I will pull the evil people up and throw them out of their land, and I will pull the people of Judah up with them. ¹⁵But after I pull them up out of their land, I will feel sorry for them. I will bring each family back to its own property and to its own land.
