Jeremiah 12:7-9
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
7 I have forsaken my house, I have left my inheritance: I have given my dear soul into the land of her enemies.
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.

Jeremiah 12:7-9
New International Version
7 “I will forsake(A) my house,
abandon(B) my inheritance;
I will give the one I love(C)
into the hands of her enemies.(D)
8 My inheritance has become to me
like a lion(E) in the forest.
She roars at me;
therefore I hate her.(F)
9 Has not my inheritance become to me
like a speckled bird of prey
that other birds of prey surround and attack?
Go and gather all the wild beasts;
bring them to devour.(G)
