Jeremiah 12:7-9

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁷ “I have ^(A)forsaken My house,
I have abandoned My inheritance;
I have given the ^(B)beloved of My soul
Into the hand of her enemies.
⁸ “My inheritance has become to Me
Like a lion in the forest;
She has ^[a](C)roared against Me;
Therefore I have come to ^(D)hate her.
⁹ “Is My inheritance like a speckled bird of prey to Me?
Are the ^(E)birds of prey against her on every side?
Go, gather all the ^(F)beasts of the field,
Bring them to devour!
