Jeremiah 12:8-10
New Catholic Bible
8 My own people have become to me
like a lion in the forest;
they have threatened me incessantly,
and therefore, I despise them.
9 Why has my land become a lair for hyenas,
with birds of prey hovering on every side?
Go forth and gather all the wild beasts
so that they may assemble for the feast.
10 My shepherds have ravaged my vineyard
and trampled my heritage underfoot.
They have made the plot of land that is my delight
into a desolate wilderness.
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)
