Jeremiah 12:11 (KJV)
Commentary on Jeremiah 12:11
This verse intensifies desolation: 'They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me.' The Hebrew shemamah (שְׁמָמָה, desolation) appears twice, emphasizing completeness. The land 'mourns to me' (avelah alay)—addressing God with its grief. 'The whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.' 'No man layeth to heart' (ein ish sam al-lev) means no one considers, reflects, takes seriously. The devastation could have been prevented by heart-attention to prophetic warning. Spiritual obliviousness produced physical desolation.
