7I have given up my house, I have let my heritage go; I have given the loved one of my soul into the hands of her haters.
8My heritage has become like a lion in the woodland to me; her voice has been loud against me; so I have hate for her.
9My heritage is like a brightly coloured bird to me; the cruel birds are attacking her on every side: go, get together all the beasts of the field, make them come for destruction.
10The keepers of sheep have been the destruction of my vine-garden, crushing my heritage under their feet; they have made my fair heritage an unplanted waste;
11They have made it waste; it is weeping to me, being wasted; all the land is made waste, because no man takes it to heart.
12Those who make waste have come on all the open hilltops in the waste land; for the sword of the Lord sends destruction from one end of the land to the other end of the land: no flesh has peace.
13Though good grain was planted, they have got in thorns: they have given themselves pain without profit: they will be shamed on account of their produce, because of the burning wrath of the Lord.
