Liturgy for Jeremiah 12:8
הָיְתָה־לִּ֥י נַחֲלָתִ֖י כְּאַרְיֵ֣ה בַיָּ֑עַר נָתְנָ֥ה עָלַ֛י בְּקוֹלָ֖הּ עַל־כֵּ֥ן שְׂנֵאתִֽיהָ׃
My heritage is become unto Me As a lion in the forest; She hath uttered her voice against Me; Therefore have I hated her.
Selichot Nusach Polin
I resemble a lion in the forest1Based on Jeremiah 12:8. This is a reference to an unfit person who steps down to the Ark to act as Chazzan. See Mesechet Taanis 16b. and I am so likened because of my guilt. My utterance is foolish, my words are exaggerated; I am deprived of intercessors2Lit. those who knock at Your door. such as [Mordchai] ben Kish, Mispar and Bigvai.3These were colleagues of Mordchai. [Therefore] every head is sick and every heart is faint.
