Jeremiah 12:8-10
New King James Version
8 My heritage is to Me like a lion in the forest;
It cries out against Me;
Therefore I have (A)hated it.
9 My [a]heritage is to Me like a speckled vulture;
The vultures all around are against her.
Come, assemble all the beasts of the field,
(B)Bring them to devour!
10 “Many (C)rulers[b] have destroyed (D)My vineyard,
They have (E)trodden My portion underfoot;
They have made My [c]pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.

Jeremiah 12:8-10
New International Version
8 My inheritance has become to me
like a lion(A) in the forest.
She roars at me;
therefore I hate her.(B)
9 Has not my inheritance become to me
like a speckled bird of prey
that other birds of prey surround and attack?
Go and gather all the wild beasts;
bring them to devour.(C)
10 Many shepherds(D) will ruin my vineyard
and trample down my field;
they will turn my pleasant field
into a desolate wasteland.(E)
