Jeremiah 12:7

The Lord's Reply

⁶ Even your relatives, members of your own family, have betrayed you. They join in the attacks against you. Do not trust them, even though they speak friendly words. ⁷ “I have forsaken My house,
I have abandoned My inheritance;
I have given the beloved of My soul
Into the hand of her enemies.
⁸ My chosen people have turned against me. Like a lion in the forest they have roared at me, and so I hate them.
