Jeremiah 12:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
The Lord’s Complaint
7 I have abandoned my house,
cast off my heritage;
The beloved of my soul I have delivered
into the hand of her foes.(A)
8 My heritage has become for me
like a lion in the thicket;
She has raised her voice against me,
therefore she has incurred my hatred.(B)
9 My heritage is a prey for hyenas,
is surrounded by vultures;
Come, gather together, all you wild animals,
come and eat!(C)
Jeremiah 12:7-9
New International Version
7 “I will forsake(A) my house,
abandon(B) my inheritance;
I will give the one I love(C)
into the hands of her enemies.(D)
8 My inheritance has become to me
like a lion(E) in the forest.
She roars at me;
therefore I hate her.(F)
9 Has not my inheritance become to me
like a speckled bird of prey
that other birds of prey surround and attack?
Go and gather all the wild beasts;
bring them to devour.(G)
