“I have forsaken my house,
    I have abandoned my heritage;
I have given the beloved of my soul
    into the hands of her enemies.
My heritage has become to me
    like a lion in the forest,
she has lifted up her voice against me;
    therefore I hate her.
Is my heritage to me like a speckled bird of prey?
    Are the birds of prey against her round about?
Go, assemble all the wild beasts;
    bring them to devour.
10 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard,
    they have trampled down my portion,
they have made my pleasant portion
    a desolate wilderness.
