Jeremiah 12:7-9

Lexham English Bible

⁷ I have forsaken my house, I have abandoned my inheritance.
    I have given the beloved one of my heart^[a] into the hand of her enemies.
⁸ My inheritance has become to me like a lion in the forest.
    She has lifted up against me her voice; therefore^[b] I hate her.
⁹ The lair of the hyena is my inheritance to me,
    the birds of prey^[c] are all around her.
Go, gather all of the animals^[d] of the field,
    bring them to come and devour.^[e]
