Contextual Overview
7 I loved my people and chose them as my very own. But now I will reject them and hand them over to their enemies. 8 My people have turned against me and roar at me like lions. That's why I hate them. 9 My people are like a hawk surrounded and attacked by other hawks. Tell the wild animals to come and eat their fill. 10 My beautiful land is ruined like a field or a vineyard trampled by shepherds and stripped bare by their flocks. 11 Every field I see lies barren, and no one cares. 12 A destroying army marches along desert roads and attacks everywhere. They are my deadly sword; no one is safe from them. 13 My people, you planted wheat, but because I was furious, I let only weeds grow. You wore yourselves out for nothing!

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard,.... This is a metaphor which is often used of the people of Israel and Judah; see
Psalms 80:8, the pastors that destroyed them are not their own governors, civil or religious, but Heathen princes, Nebuchadnezzar and his generals. So the Targum paraphrases it,
"many kings slay my people;''
so Kimchi and Ben Melech.
They have trodden my portion under foot; the people of the Jews, that were his portion, and before called his heritage; whom the Chaldeans subdued, and reduced to extreme servitude and bondage; and were as the dirt under their feet, greatly oppressed and despised.
They have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness; by pulling down stately edifices, unwalling of towers, and destroying men; so that there were none to manure the fields, to dress the vineyards, and keep gardens and orchards in good case; but all were come to ruin and what before was a delightful paradise was now like an heath or desert.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Nebuchadnezzar and his confederate kings trampled Judah under foot, as heedless of the ruin they were inflicting as the shepherds would be who led their flocks to browse in spring upon the tender shoots of the vine.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 12:10. Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard — My people have had many kinds of enemies which have fed upon their richest pastures; the Philistines, the Moabites, Ammonites, Assyrians, Egyptians. and now the Chaldeans.
