Jeremiah:12:7-9
rsv@Jeremiah:12:7 @ "I have forsaken my house, I have abandoned my heritage; I have given the beloved of my soul into the hands of her enemies.
rsv@Jeremiah:12:8 @ My heritage has become to me like a lion in the forest, she has lifted up her voice against me; therefore I hate her.
rsv@Jeremiah:12:9 @ Is my heritage to me like a speckled bird of prey? Are the birds of prey against her round about? Go, assemble all the wild beasts; bring them to devour.
