Jeremiah 12:8-10
Contemporary English Version
Jeremiah 12:8-10
Contemporary English Version
8 My people have turned against me
and roar at me like lions.
That's why I hate them.
9 My people are like a hawk
surrounded and attacked
by other hawks.[a]
Tell the wild animals
to come and eat their fill.
10 My beautiful land is ruined
like a field or a vineyard
trampled by shepherds
and stripped bare
by their flocks.
Footnotes
- 12.9 My people … other hawks: Or “My land has become a hyena's den with vultures circling above.”
