Jeremiah 12:8-10
EasyEnglish Bible
8 The people that belong to me
have turned against me.
They are like a lion that hides in the forest.
It roars and is ready to attack me.
Because of that,
I have turned against my people.
9 They attack me like hyenas,
but vultures are ready to attack them.
Tell all the wild animals to come,
so that they can eat their dead bodies!
10 Many foreign leaders will come.
They will destroy the land where my people live.
It was a beautiful garden where I planted my people.
But enemies will make it become like a desert.
Jeremiah 12:8-10
New International Version
8 My inheritance has become to me
like a lion(A) in the forest.
She roars at me;
therefore I hate her.(B)
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.(C)
10 Many shepherds(D) will ruin my vineyard
and trample down my field;
they will turn my pleasant field
into a desolate wasteland.(E)
