7. “I have forsaken my house.I have cast off my heritage.I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
8. My heritage has become to me as a lion in the forest.She has uttered her voice against me.Therefore I have hated her.
9. Is my heritage to me as a speckled bird of prey?Are the birds of prey against her all around?Go, assemble all the animals of the field.Bring them to devour.
10. Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard.They have trodden my portion under foot.They have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
11. They have made it a desolation.It mourns to me, being desolate.The whole land is made desolate,because no one cares.
12. Destroyers have come on all the bare heights in the wilderness;for the sword of the Lord devours from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land.No flesh has peace.
