Jeremiah 12:10

The Lord's Reply

⁹ My heritage is like a brightly coloured bird to me; the cruel birds are attacking her on every side: go, get together all the beasts of the field, make them come for destruction. ¹⁰ The keepers of sheep have been the destruction of my vine-garden, crushing my heritage under their feet; they have made my fair heritage an unplanted waste; ¹¹ They have made it waste; it is weeping to me, being wasted; all the land is made waste, because no man takes it to heart.
