Jeremiah 12:8-10

Easy-to-Read Version

⁸ My own people turned against me like a wild lion.
    They roared at me, so I turned away from them.
⁹ My own people have become like
    a dying animal surrounded by vultures.
These birds are circling around her.
    Come on, wild animals.
    Come get something to eat.
¹⁰ Many shepherds have ruined my vineyard.
    They have trampled the plants in my field.
    They have made my beautiful field a desert.
