Jeremiah 12:8-10
Evangelical Heritage Version
8 My heritage has become like a lion in the forest to me.
She roars at me, so I hate her.
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.
