My heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it cries out against me: therefore have I hated it.
All Commentaries on Jeremiah 12:8 Go To Jeremiah 12
Lucius Caecilius Firmianus Lactantius
AD 320
Now that the Jews were disinherited, because they rejected Christ, and that we, who are of the Gentiles, were adopted into their place is proved by the Scriptures. Jeremiah thus speaks, “I have forsaken my house. I have given my heritage into the hands of its enemies. My heritage has become to me as a lion in the forest. It has given forth its voice against me; therefore have I hated it.”
