Jeremiah 12:8-10

World English Bible

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.
¹⁰ Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard.
    They have trodden my portion under foot.
    They have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
