Jeremiah 12:7

The Lord's Reply

⁶ As a matter of fact, even your own brothers and the members of your own family have betrayed you too. Even they have plotted to do away with you. So do not trust them even when they say kind things to you. ⁷ "I will abandon my nation. I will forsake the people I call my own. I will turn my beloved people over to the power of their enemies. ⁸ The people I call my own have turned on me like a lion in the forest. They have roared defiantly at me. So I will treat them as though I hate them.
