Contextual Overview
7 "I have abandoned my house. I have left my own property. I have given Judah, the one I love, to her enemies. 8 My own people turned against me like a wild lion. They roared at me, so I turned away from them. 9 My own people have become like a dying animal surrounded by vultures. These birds are circling around her. Come on, wild animals. Come get something to eat. 10 Many shepherds have ruined my vineyard. They have trampled the plants in my field. They have made my beautiful field a desert. 11 They have turned it into an empty desert. It is dry and dead. The whole land has been ruined, and no one is left to care for it. 12 The empty hills are covered with soldiers who have come to destroy everything. The Lord is using them to punish that land from one end to the other. No one is safe. 13 The people will plant wheat, but they will harvest only thorns. They will work hard until they are very tired, but they will get nothing for all their work. They will be ashamed of their crop. The Lord 's anger caused this."

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.
