Jeremiah 12:7-9

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁷ I have abandoned My house;^(A)
I have deserted My inheritance.
I have given the love of My life
into the hands of her enemies.
⁸ My inheritance has acted toward Me
like a lion in the forest.
She has roared against Me.
Therefore, I hate her.^(B)
9 Is 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.
