New American Standard Bible
God’s Answer
7 “I have (A)forsaken My house,
I have abandoned My inheritance;
I have handed the (B)beloved of My soul
Over to her enemies.
8 My inheritance has become to Me
Like a lion in the forest;
She has [a](C)roared against Me;
Therefore I have come to (D)hate her.
9 Is My inheritance like a speckled bird of prey to Me?
Are the (E)birds of prey against her on every side?
Go, gather all the (F)animals of the field,
Bring them to devour!
