Jeremiah 12:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ Even your own brothers and family have turned against you.
    They join with other people to attack you.
So do not trust them,
    even when they say kind words to you.
⁷ I have decided to turn away from my nation.
    I will leave the people that I chose to belong to me.
I will put the people that I love
    under the power of their enemies.
⁸ The people that belong to me
    have turned against me.
They are like a lion that hides in the forest.
    It roars and is ready to attack me.
Because of that,
    I have turned against my people.
