Inheritance from Inheritance by Spark & Echo

Inheritance
Jeremiah 12:5-17

Has not my inheritance become to me like a lion in the woods?
She roars at me, I hate her.

Has not my inheritance become to me like a speckled bird of prey,
That other birds surround and attack?

Go gather all the wild beasts, bring them to devour.
Many shepherds will ruin my fields, yeah.
They’ll turn my pleasant vineyards in to trash.

If you race with men on foot, and they have worn you out
than how can you compete with a horse?

If you stumble in the safeland,
How are you gonna manage in the thicket,
When ev’ry thing is desolate and dry?

Your brothers, your brothers, your own family-
Even they’ve betrayed you.
Do not trust them—they’re the ones I love, yeah,

For they will sow wheat, but reap thorns.
They will wear out, but gain nothing, yeah well,
Over the barren land
The sword will devour,
Because nobody cares.

So bear the shame of your harvest
Because of the Lord’s angry mouth.
