Jeremiah 12:5-7
Living Bible
5 The Lord replied to me: If racing with mere men—these men of Anathoth—has wearied you, how will you race against horses, against the king, his court, and all his evil priests?[a] If you stumble and fall on open ground, what will you do in Jordan’s jungles? 6 Even your own brothers, your own family, have turned against you. They have plotted to call for a mob to lynch you. Don’t trust them, no matter how pleasantly they speak. Don’t believe them.
7 Then the Lord said: I have abandoned my people, my inheritance; I have surrendered my dearest ones to their enemies.
