Jeremiah 12:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁸ My heritage has become to me
    like a lion in the forest;
she has lifted up her voice against me—
    therefore I hate her.^(A)
9 Is the hawk hungry for my heritage?
    Are the vultures all around her?
Go, assemble all the wild animals;
    bring them to devour her.^(B)
10 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard;
    they have trampled down my portion;
they have made my pleasant portion
    a desolate wilderness.^(C)
