7. I have forsaken My house, I have cast off My heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of My life into the hands of her enemies.
8. My heritage has become to Me like a lion in the forest; she has uttered her voice against Me; therefore I have [treated her as if I] hated her.
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 of the field; bring them to devour.
