Jeremiah 12:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have fought against thee, and have cried after thee with full voice: believe them not when they speak good things to thee.

⁷ I have forsaken my house, I have left my inheritance: I have given my dear soul into the land of her enemies.

⁸ My inheritance is become to me as a lion in the wood: is hath cried out against me, therefore have I hated it.
