Jeremiah 12:8-11 American Standard Version (ASV)

8. My heritage is become unto me as a lion in the forest: she hath uttered her voice against me; therefore I have hated her.

9. Is my heritage unto me as a speckled bird of prey? are the birds of prey against her round about? go ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, bring them to devour.

10. Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.

11. They have made it a desolation; it mourneth unto me, being desolate; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.
