Jeremiah 12:9
Is not My inheritance to Me
What it says
The LORD's inheritance is like a speckled bird surrounded by birds of prey, and beasts are summoned to devour it.
What it is doing
This verse pictures Judah as isolated and exposed to judgment.
In context
5“If you have raced with men on foot 6Even your brothers— 7I have forsaken My house; 8My inheritance has become to Me 9Is not My inheritance to Me 10Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard; 11They have made it a desolation; 12Over all the barren heights in the wilderness 13They have sown wheat but harvested thorns.
