Jeremiah 12:5-7

Tree of Life Version

⁵ “If you raced with those on foot
        and they wore you out,
    how can you compete with horses?
    If you are secure in a land of peace,
    how will you do in Jordan’s thickets?
⁶ For even your brothers—your father’s house—
    even they will betray you,
    even they will shout out after you.
    Have no confidence in them,
    even if they say nice words to you.”

⁷ “I have abandoned My House.
    I have forsaken My inheritance.
    I have given the beloved of My soul
        Into the hand of her enemies.
