'My People' in the Bible

For Samaria's injury is fatal, reaching all the way to Judah, extending even to the gate of my people to Jerusalem."

"When this happens, someone will compose a proverb about you, lamenting sorrowfully, "We are completely ruined! He has given my people's heritage to others. How he has removed it from me, dividing up our fields!'

Lately my people have acted like an enemy you strip travelers who thought they were as secure as those who return from war.

You have evicted the wives of my people from their dream homes; you have removed my majesty from their children permanently.

you who despise good and love evil, who tear off the skin of my people, along with the flesh from their bones.

You eat the flesh of my people, flaying their skin from them. You break their bones, chopping them in pieces like meat for a pot, like meat destined for a soup kettle.'

"This is what the LORD says about the prophets who are causing my people to go astray, who are calling out "Peace' when they're being fed, but who declare war against those who won't feed them:

"My people, what have I done to you, and how have I offended you? Answer me!

"My people, recall how king Balak of Moab deliberated, and how Beor's son Balaam counseled him from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you may know the righteousness of the LORD."

You keep Omri's statutes and observe the customs of the house of Ahab. Because you live according to their advice, I'll make you desolate and turn your inhabitants into an object of scorn. Therefore you will bear the shame of my people."
