¹ Yahweh, whenever I complain to you,

² You plant them like trees that take root;

³ But as for me, Yahweh, you know me fully.

⁴ How much longer will the land mourn?

⁵ “So, the footmen have beaten you, have they?

⁶ For even your brothers and relatives have betrayed you,

⁷ “I have abandoned my house of Israel[4]

⁸ My own inheritance has turned against me

⁹ Are hyenas and birds of prey all trying

¹⁰ Many rulers[7] have destroyed my vineyard.

¹¹ They have left it a wasteland—

¹² Many destroyers have marched over those barren hills.

¹³ The people planted wheat but reaped nothing but weeds.

¹⁴ Here is what Yahweh said to me concerning our evil neighboring nations who attacked the land he promised to my people Israel: “I will uproot those nations and throw them off their land. I will also uproot the people of Judah and rescue them from the midst of their enemies.

¹⁵ Then after a period of exile,[9] I will again show compassion to each nation and bring each one back to their homelands.

¹⁶ They once taught my people to worship Baal, but if they acknowledge me as the only true God,[10] and if they learn from my people how to worship me, then I will establish them and prosper them alongside my people.[11]

¹⁷ However, if they don’t listen to me, I will uproot them from their lands and completely destroy them. I, Yahweh, have spoken.”
