Jeremiah 12:9–12

9 Is my inheritance like a hyenaA to me?

Are birds of prey circling her?

Go, gather all the wild animals;y

bring them to devour her.

10 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard;

they have trampled my plot of land.z

They have turned my desirable plot

into a desolate wasteland.

11 They have made it a desolation.

It mourns, desolate, before me.

All the land is desolate,

but no one takes it to heart.aa

12 Over all the barren heights in the wilderness

the destroyers have come,

for the Lord has a sword that devours

from one end of the earth to the other.

No one has peace.ab
