Jeremiah 12:4-6

Legacy Standard Bible

⁴ How long is the ^(A)land to mourn
And the ^(B)plants of every field to dry up?
Because of the ^(C)evil of those who inhabit it,
^(D)Animals and birds have been swept away,
Because men have said, “He will not see our latter ^(E)ending.”

⁵ “If you have run with footmen and they have tired you out,
Then how can you compete with horses?
If you fall down in a land of peace,
How will you do in the ^[a](F)thicket of the Jordan?
⁶ For even your ^(G)brothers and the household of your father,
Even they have dealt treacherously with you,
Even they have called aloud after you.
Do not believe them, although they may say ^(H)nice things to you.”
