5For with your feet you ran and they wearied you; how will you compete with the horses? And in the land of peace you trust; how will you do in the pride of the Jordan?6For even your brothers and the house of your father—even they have betrayed you; even they have called after you, "Full!" Do not believe them when they speak good things to you.7I have abandoned my house; I have rejected my inheritance; I have given the beloved of my vital life force into the palm of her enemies.8She has become to me like a lion in the forest as my inheritance; she has given her voice against me. Therefore I have hated her.9The speckled vulture is my inheritance to me. The vulture circles around over it. Go, gather all the beasts of the field; bring them to eat.10Many evil ones have corrupted my vineyards; they have trodden down my portion; they have given the portion of my desire to a wilderness, a desolation.11They have made it a desolation; it has mourned to me as a desolation; it has breathed its last, all the land, for there is no man at heart.12Upon all the bare heights in the wilderness destroyers have come, for a sword of the LORD has devoured from one end of the land to the other end of the land; there is no peace for all flesh.13They sowed wheat but reaped thorns; they acquired an inheritance but it will not come up; and your harvests were put to shame because of the fierceness of the LORD's anger.14Thus says the LORD concerning all the evil neighbors, the ones touching the inheritance which I caused my people Israel to inherit: Behold, I am uprooting them from upon their ground, and the house of Judah I will uproot from their midst.15And it will be after I uproot them, I will return and have compassion on them and bring them back, each man to his inheritance and each man to his land.16And it will be, if they learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, "As the LORD lives," just as they taught my people to swear by Baal, then they will be built in the midst of my people.17And if they do not hear, then I will uproot that nation, uprooted and perished—oracle of the LORD.
