“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)
My inheritance has become to me
    like a lion(E) in the forest.
She roars at me;
    therefore I hate her.(F)
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)
