Jeremiah 12:9-11

Good News Translation

⁹ My chosen people are like a bird
    attacked from all sides by hawks.
Call the wild animals
    to come and join in the feast!
¹⁰ Many foreign rulers have destroyed my vineyard;
    they have trampled down my fields;
    they have turned my lovely land into a desert.
¹¹ They have made it a wasteland;
    it lies desolate before me.
The whole land has become a desert,
    and no one cares.
