Jeremiah 12:6-8

Revised Standard Version

⁶For even your brothers and the house of your father,
    even they have dealt treacherously with you;
    they are in full cry after you;
believe them not,
    though they speak fair words to you.”

⁷“I have forsaken my house,
    I have abandoned my heritage;
I have given the beloved of my soul
    into the hands of her enemies.
⁸My heritage has become to me
    like a lion in the forest,
she has lifted up her voice against me;
    therefore I hate her.
