Jeremiah 12:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ I have abandoned my house;
    I have deserted my inheritance.
    I have given the one I love
        into the power of her enemies.
⁸ My inheritance has turned against me
    like a lion in the forest;
        she growls at me;
            therefore, I have rejected her.
⁹ My inheritance has become
    like a bird of prey,
        surrounded and attacked.^[a]
Go, gather all the wild animals for the feast.
