Jeremiah 12:6-8

The Voice

⁶    Jeremiah, even your brothers and the rest of your family
        are ready to betray you.
    Even they cry out for your death; don’t trust any of them,
        no matter how nicely they speak to your face.

⁷    I have turned away My house,
        abandoned My heritage;
    I have given My deeply beloved one over to her enemies.
⁸    My very own people have acted toward Me like a lion in the wild,
        roaring at Me in defiance. For this, I hate her.
