5. If running against men has wearied you,how will you race against horses?And if you are safe only on a level stretch,what will you do in the jungle of the Jordan?
6. Your kindred and your father’s house, even they betray you; they have recruited a force against you. Do not believe them, even when they speak fair words to you.
7. I have abandoned my house,cast off my heritage;The beloved of my soul I have deliveredinto the hand of her foes.
8. My heritage has become for melike a lion in the thicket;She has raised her voice against me,therefore she has incurred my hatred.
9. My heritage is a prey for hyenas,is surrounded by vultures;Come, gather together, all you wild animals,come and eat!
