Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.

The verse 9 is found in chapter 12 of Jeremiah. Yahweh laments that his own inheritance has become prey and compares Israel to an abandoned house. Shepherds and nations destroy the vineyard, but they too will be judged. The future restoration of neighboring nations is conditioned upon their learning Yahweh’s ways, introducing a missionary dimension even within judgment.

Mein Erbe ist wie der sprenklige Vogel, um welchen sich die Vögel sammeln. Wohlauf, sammelt euch, alle Feldtiere, kommt und fresset.
¿Esme mi heredad ave de muchos colores? ¿no están contra ella aves en derredor? Venid, reuníos, vosotras todas las bestias del campo, venid a devorarla.
¿Es mi heredad para mí un ave de rapiña moteada? ¿La rodean otras aves de rapiña? Vayan, reúnan a todos los animales salvajes; tráiganlos para que la devoren.
Mon héritage a été pour moi un oiseau de proie, une hyène; Aussi les oiseaux de proie viendront de tous côtés contre lui. Allez, rassemblez tous les animaux des champs, Faites-les venir pour qu'ils le dévorent!
La mia eredità mi è stata come un uccello vaiolato; o uccelli, venite contro a lei d’ogn’intorno; andate, radunatevi, voi tutte le fiere della campagna, venite per mangiare.
A minha herança é para mim ave de rapina de várias cores. Andam as aves de rapina contra ela em redor. Vinde, pois, ajuntai todos os animais do campo, trazei-os para a devorarem.
我的產業向我如斑點的鷙鳥, 有鷙鳥在四圍攻擊她。 你們去聚集田野的百獸, 叫牠們來吞吃吧!
