Jeremiah 12:7-9

World English Bible

⁷ “I have forsaken my house.
    I have cast off my heritage.
    I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
⁸ My heritage has become to me as a lion in the forest.
    She has uttered her voice against me.
    Therefore I have hated her.
⁹ Is my heritage to me as a speckled bird of prey?
    Are the birds of prey against her all around?
Go, assemble all the animals of the field.
    Bring them to devour.
