Jeremiah 12:9-11
Expanded Bible
9 My people have become to me
like a ·speckled bird [or hyena’s lair] attacked on all sides by ·hawks [birds of prey].
Go, gather the ·wild animals [L beasts of the field].
Bring them to get something to eat.
10 Many shepherds [C the leaders of Judah] have ruined my vineyards
and trampled ·the plants in my field [L my portion].
They have turned my ·beautiful [precious; coveted; treasured] ·field [L portion]
into an empty ·desert [wilderness].
11 They have turned ·my field [L it] into ·a desert [desolation]
that is ·wilted [desolate] and ·dead [L mourns].
The whole country is ·an empty desert [desolate],
because no one ·who lives there cares [L sets it on heart].
Jeremiah 12:9-11
New International Version
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.(A)
10 Many shepherds(B) will ruin my vineyard
and trample down my field;
they will turn my pleasant field
into a desolate wasteland.(C)
11 It will be made a wasteland,(D)
parched and desolate before me;(E)
the whole land will be laid waste
because there is no one who cares.
