“Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it. crieth: or, yelleth: Heb. giveth out his voice”
Jeremiah 12:8 (KJV)
Commentary on Jeremiah 12:8
This verse explains divine withdrawal: 'Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it.' The shocking imagery presents Israel as a lion roaring defiance against God. 'Crieth out against me' (natenak alay qolah) indicates hostile roaring, not pleading prayer. 'Therefore have I hated it.' The Hebrew saneti (שָׂנֵאתִי, hated) must be understood relationally—God's protective love has become wounding abandonment because of Israel's aggression toward Him. Israel treated God as enemy; He responds accordingly.
