Jeremiah 12:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ I have decided to turn away from my nation.
    I will leave the people that I chose to belong to me.
I will put the people that I love
    under the power of their enemies.
⁸ The people that belong to me
    have turned against me.
They are like a lion that hides in the forest.
    It roars and is ready to attack me.
Because of that,
    I have turned against my people.
⁹ They attack me like hyenas,
    but vultures are ready to attack them.
Tell all the wild animals to come,
    so that they can eat their dead bodies!
