Even though they speak1 smooth words to you.

I have given the dearly beloved of My soul into the hand of her enemies.
I have given the dearly beloved of My soul into the hand of her enemies.
8 My heritage is to Me like a lion in the forest;
It cries out against Me;
Therefore I have ahated it.

The vultures all around are against her.
Come, assemble all the beasts of the field,
aBring them to devour!
