Jeremiah 12:10

The Lord's Reply

⁹ Is My inheritance like a hyena to Me?
Are birds of prey circling her?
Go, gather all the wild animals;
bring them to devour her.
¹⁰ Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard;
they have trampled My plot of land.
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.

My People

Judah
