God inheritance and Israel’s exile in Jeremiah 12

Passage: Jeremiah 12 (ESV Bible Online).

I don’t have time to research this, but it seems that God’s voice is, at some point, mourning his own disinheritance.  Israel’s sin despoils his heritage leaving him impoverished.  (So at the end he says that he won’t allow it to last).

Also, at the end, in the ESV, I’m getting confused about who gets put in the midst of whom.  Is there a hint here that Israel scattered among the nations means the nations are within Israel in a way?

Just questions for later…
