My inheritance has become to me
    like a lion(A) in the forest.
She roars at me;
    therefore I hate her.(B)
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)

The vultures all around are against her.
Come, assemble all the beasts of the field,
(B)Bring them to devour!
