Jeremiah 12:7-9

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁷ “I have abandoned my nation.
I have left my own people.
I have handed the people I love over to their enemies.
⁸ My people have turned on me like a lion in the forest.
They roar at me, so I hate them.
⁹ My people are like a colorful bird of prey.
Other birds of prey surround it.
Go, gather all the animals in the field,
and bring them to devour it.
