Jeremiah 12:9 in Context — Jeremiah 12

7 He dejado mi casa, desamparé mi heredad, entregado he lo que amaba mi alma en manos de sus enemigos.

8 Fué para mí mi heredad como león en breña: contra mí dió su voz; por tanto la aborrecí.

9 ¿Esme mi heredad ave de muchos colores? ¿no están contra ella aves en derredor? Venid, reuníos, [vosotras] todas las bestias del campo, venid á devorarla.

10 Muchos pastores han destruído mi viña, hollaron mi heredad, tornaron en desierto y soledad mi heredad preciosa.

11 Fué puesta en asolamiento, [y] lloró sobre mí, asolada: fué asolada toda la tierra, porque no hubo hombre que mirase.
