The King James Version Bible

Jeremiah 12:7-10

  1. I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.

  2. Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it.

  3. Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.

  4. Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
