MLV(i)
7 I have forsaken my house. I have cast off my heritage. I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
8 My heritage has become to me as a lion in the forest. She has uttered her voice against me. Therefore I have hated her.
9 Is my heritage to me as a speckled bird of prey? Are the birds of prey against her all around? Go you*, assemble all the beasts of the field; bring them to devour.
10 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard. They have trodden my portion under foot. They have made my desirable portion a desolate wilderness.
