Jeremiah 12:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ My inheritance has turned against me
    like a lion in the forest;
        she growls at me;
            therefore, I have rejected her.
⁹ My inheritance has become
    like a bird of prey,
        surrounded and attacked.^[a]
Go, gather all the wild animals for the feast.
¹⁰ Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard;
    they have trampled down my field;
    they have reduced my treasured field
        to a desolate wilderness.
