Jeremiah 12:7-9
Christian Standard Bible
7 I have abandoned my house;(A)
I have deserted my inheritance.
I have handed the love of my life
over to her enemies.
8 My inheritance has behaved 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.
