Jeremiah 12:7-11

“I have forsaken My house, I have abandoned My inheritance; I have handed the beloved of My soul Over to her enemies.

“My inheritance has become to Me Like a lion in the forest; She has roared against Me; Therefore I have come to hate her.

“Is My inheritance like a speckled bird of prey to Me? Are the birds of prey against her on every side? Go, gather all the animals of the field, Bring them to devour!

“Many shepherds have ruined My vineyard, They have trampled down My field; They have made My pleasant field A desolate wilderness.

“It has been made a desolation; Desolate, it mourns before Me; The whole land has been made desolate, Because no one takes it to heart.
