Jeremiah 12:7-9

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁷I have abandoned my house;^(A)
I have deserted my inheritance.
I have handed the love of my life
over to her enemies.
⁸My inheritance has behaved towards me
like a lion in the forest.
She has roared against me.
Therefore, I hate her.^(B)
⁹Is my inheritance like a hyena^[a] to me?
Are birds of prey circling her?
Go, gather all the wild animals;^(C)
bring them to devour her.
