Jeremiah 12:7-9

New International Version

⁷“I will forsake^(A) my house,
    abandon^(B) my inheritance;
I will give the one I love^(C)
    into the hands of her enemies.^(D)
⁸My inheritance has become to me
    like a lion^(E) in the forest.
She roars at me;
    therefore I hate her.^(F)
⁹Has 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.^(G)
