Jeremiah 12:7

The Lord's Reply

⁶ Even your brothers—your own father’s household—
even they were treacherous to you;
even they have cried out loudly after you.
Do not have confidence in them,
though they speak well of you. ⁷ I have abandoned My house;
I have deserted My inheritance.
I have given the love of My life
into the hands of her enemies.
⁸ My inheritance has acted toward Me
like a lion in the forest.
She has roared against Me.
Therefore, I hate her.

My People

Judah
