Jeremiah 12:9-11

Common English Bible

⁹ My inheritance has become
    like a bird of prey,
        surrounded and attacked.^[a]
Go, gather all the wild animals for the feast.
¹⁰ Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard;
    they have trampled down my field;
    they have reduced my treasured field
        to a desolate wilderness.
¹¹ They have devastated her;
    desolate, she cries out to me in distress:
        “The whole land is desolate,
        and no one seems to care.”
