Jeremiah 12:6-8
Easy-to-Read Version

6 These men are your own brothers.
    Members of your own family are making plans against you.
    People from your own family are shouting at you.
Don’t trust them,
    even when they speak to you like friends.

The Lord Rejects Judah

7 “I have abandoned my house.
    I have left my own property.[a]
I have given Judah, the one I love,
    to her enemies.
8 My own people turned against me like a wild lion.
    They roared at me, so I turned away from them.
