Jeremiah 12:8-10

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁸ My people have turned on me like a lion in the forest.
They roar at me, so I hate them.
⁹ My people are like a colorful bird of prey.
Other birds of prey surround it.
Go, gather all the animals in the field,
and bring them to devour it.
¹⁰ Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard.
They’ve trampled my property.
They’ve turned my pleasant property into a wasteland.
