Jeremiah 12:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ I have forsaken My house,
    I have abandoned My heritage;
I have given the dearly beloved of My soul
    into the hand of her enemies.
⁸ My heritage is to Me
    as a lion in the forest.
She cries out against Me;
    therefore I have hated her.
⁹ My heritage is to Me
    as a speckled vulture;
    the vultures all around are against her.
Come, assemble all the beasts of the field,
    bring them to devour.
