Jeremiah 12:8-10

Modern English Version

⁸ My heritage is to Me
    as a lion in the forest.
She cries out against Me;
    therefore I have hated her.
⁹ My heritage is to Me
    as a speckled vulture;
    the vultures all around are against her.
Come, assemble all the beasts of the field,
    bring them to devour.
¹⁰ Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard;
    they have trodden My portion under foot;
they have made My pleasant portion
    a desolate wilderness.
