“Is my heritage to me as a speckled bird of prey?Are the birds of prey against her all around?Go, assemble all the animals of the field.Bring them to devour.”
Jeremiah 12:9 (WEB)
Context Reading
7“I have forsaken my house.I have cast off my heritage.I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies. 8My heritage has become to me as a lion in the forest.She has uttered her voice against me.Therefore I have hated her. 9Is my heritage to me as a speckled bird of prey?Are the birds of prey against her all around?Go, assemble all the animals of the field.Bring them to devour. 10Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard.They have trodden my portion under foot.They have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. 11They have made it a desolation.It mourns to me, being desolate.The whole land is made desolate,because no one cares.
