Jeremiah 12:7-9

Complete Jewish Bible

⁷ “I have abandoned my house,
I have rejected my heritage,
I have given my heart’s beloved
over to the hands of her foes.
⁸ For me, my heritage has become
like a lion in the forest —
she roared out against me;
so now I hate her.
⁹ For me, my heritage is like a speckled bird of prey —
other birds of prey surround her and attack her.
Go, gather all the wild animals,
and bring them to devour her.
