Jeremiah 12:8-10

Revised Geneva Translation

⁸ “My heritage is to Me as a lion in the forest. It cries out against Me. Therefore, I have hated it.

⁹ “Shall My heritage be to Me as a bird of diverse colors? Are not the birds around her saying, ‘Come, assemble all the beasts of the field. Come to eat her’?

¹⁰ “Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard and trampled My portion under foot. They have made a desolate wilderness of My pleasant portion.
