6 Even your relatives and members of your father’s household betray you.They have also formed a mob to find you.Don’t trust them when they say good things about you.
7 “I have abandoned my nation.I have left my own people.I have handed the people I love over to their enemies.
8 My people have turned on me like a lion in the forest.They roar at me, so I hate them.
9 My people are like a colorful bird of prey.Other birds of prey surround it.Go, gather all the animals in the field,and bring them to devour it.
10 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard.They’ve trampled my property.They’ve turned my pleasant property into a wasteland.
11 They’ve left it a wasteland.Devastated, it mourns in my presence.The whole land is destroyed,but no one takes this to heart.
12 Looters swarm all over the bare hills in the desert.The Lord’s sword destroys themfrom one end of the land to the other.No one will be safe.
