In context

5“If you have raced with men on foot 6Even your brothers— 7I have forsaken My house; 8My inheritance has become to Me 9Is not My inheritance to Me 10Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard; 11They have made it a desolation; 12Over all the barren heights in the wilderness 13They have sown wheat but harvested thorns.
