Jeremiah 12:8

8 ^aMy heritage has become to me
like a lion in the forest;
she has lifted up her voice against me;
therefore I hate her.

Zechariah 11:8-9

8 In one month ^bI destroyed the three shepherds. But I became impatient with them, and they also detested me. 9 So I said, “I will not be your shepherd. ^cWhat is to die, let it die. What is to be destroyed, let it be destroyed. And let those who are left devour the flesh of one another.”
