The Lord's Reply

⁹ “Is My inheritance like a speckled bird of prey to Me?
Are the birds of prey against her on every side?

Bring them to devour!
¹⁰ “Many shepherds have ruined My vineyard,
They have trampled down My field;
They have made My pleasant field
A desolate wilderness.

Desolate, it mourns before Me;
The whole land has been made desolate,
Because no man lays it to heart.
