God’s lament over Judah’s destruction

I have abandoned my house;
    I have deserted my inheritance.
    I have given the one I love
        into the power of her enemies.
My inheritance has turned against me
    like a lion in the forest;
        she growls at me;
            therefore, I have rejected her.
My inheritance has become
    like a bird of prey,
        surrounded and attacked.[a]
Go, gather all the wild animals for the feast.
