Jeremiah 12:8
Berean Standard Bible
My inheritance has become to Me like a lion in the forest. She has roared against Me; therefore I hate her.
Context
6Even your brothers—
your own father’s household—
even they have betrayed you;
even they have cried aloud against you.
Do not trust them,
though they speak well of you. 7I have forsaken My house;
I have abandoned My inheritance.
I have given the love of My life
into the hands of her enemies. 8My inheritance has become to Me
like a lion in the forest.
She has roared against Me;
therefore I hate her. 9Is not My inheritance to Me
like a speckled bird of prey
with other birds of prey * circling against her?
Go, gather all the beasts of the field;
bring them to devour her. 10Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard;
they have trampled My plot of ground.
They have turned My pleasant field
into a desolate wasteland.
