Jeremiah 12:6-8

Good News Translation

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.”

“I have abandoned Israel;
    I have rejected my chosen nation.
I have given the people I love
    into the power of their 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.
