7 “I have aforsaken My house;
I have abandoned My inheritance;
I have given the bbeloved of My soul
Into the hand of her enemies.
8 My inheritance has become to Me
Like a lion in the forest;
She has agiven forth its voice against Me;
Therefore I have come to bhate her.
9 Is My inheritance like a speckled bird of prey to Me?
Are the abirds of prey against her on every side?
Go, gather all the bbeasts of the field,
Bring them to devour!
10 Many ashepherds have ruined My bvineyard;
They have ctrampled down My portion;
They have made My ddesired portion
A desolate wilderness.
11 It has been made a desolation;
Desolate, it amourns before Me;
The bwhole land has been made desolate
Because no man csets it upon his heart.
12 On all the abare heights in the wilderness
Destroyers have come,
For a bsword of Yahweh is devouring
From one end of the land even to the other;
There is cno peace for any flesh.
13 They have asown wheat and have reaped thorns;
They have bstrained themselves to no profit.
But be ashamed of your cproduce
Because of the dburning anger of Yahweh.”
