Jeremiah 12:9-11

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁹ For me my heritage has become like a howling hyena,
    surrounded by scavenging birds of prey.^[a]
Go and gather all the wild animals.
Bring them to devour her.
¹⁰ Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard
and trampled down my estate.
They will turn my pleasant estate into a desolate wasteland.
¹¹ They have made it a wasteland.
It mourns. It is desolate before me.
The whole land is laid waste,
because there is no one who cares.
