Jeremiah 12:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ My inheritance is become to me as a lion in the wood: is hath cried out against me, therefore have I hated it.

⁹ Is my inheritance to me as a speckled bird? Is it as a bird died throughout? come ye, assemble yourselves, all the beasts of the earth, make haste to devour.

¹⁰ Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot: they have changed my delightful portion into a desolate wilderness.
