How long will the land mourn?
    How long will the plants in every field remain dried up?
    The animals and the birds are dying,
        because people are wicked.
    They think that Elohim[a] doesn’t know what they are doing.

The Lord’s Reply

“If you have raced against others on foot, and they have tired you out,
    how can you compete with horses?
    If you stumble in open country,
    how can you live in the jungle along the Jordan River?
Even your relatives and members of your father’s household betray you.
    They have also formed a mob to find you.
        Don’t trust them when they say good things about you.
