12Jeremiah 12:7

5If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?Select Jeremiah 12:5

6For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.Select Jeremiah 12:6

7I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.Select Jeremiah 12:7

8Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it.Select Jeremiah 12:8

9Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.Select Jeremiah 12:9
