Jeremiah 12:7

The Lord's Reply

⁶ For thy brethren and thy kindred have altogether despised thee, and cried out upon thee in thine absence. Believe them not, though they speak fair words to thee. ⁷ As for me, say I, I have forsaken mine own dwelling place, and left mine heritage. My life also that I love so well, have I given into the hands of mine enemies. ⁸ Mine heritage is become unto me, as a Lion in the wood. It cried out upon me, therefore have I forsaken it.

My People

Judah
