7I have forsaken my house; I have abandoned my inheritance; I have given the beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.

8My inheritance has become to me like a lion in the forest; she has lifted up her voice against me; therefore I hate her.

9Is my inheritance to me a speckled bird of prey? Are the birds of prey against her all around? Go, gather all the beasts of the field; bring them to devour.
