    Go, assemble all the animals of the field.
    Bring them to devour.

    They have trodden my portion under foot.
    They have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
  3. 11They have made it a desolation.

  4. 12Destroyers have come on all the bare heights in the wilderness;
    for the sword of Yahweh devours from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land.

  5. 13They have sown wheat,
    and have reaped thorns.
    They have exhausted themselves,
    and profit nothing.
    You will be ashamed of your fruits,
    because of Yahweh’s fierce anger.”
