Jeremiah 12:6-8
Common English Bible

6 Even your relatives, your very family,
    are planning to trap you.
        They are out to get you.
    So don’t trust them,
        even if they appear to be on your side.

God’s lament over Judah’s destruction

7 I have abandoned my house;
    I have deserted my inheritance.
    I have given the one I love
        into the power of her enemies.
8 My inheritance has turned against me
    like a lion in the forest;
        she growls at me;
            therefore, I have rejected her.
