Jeremiah 12:6-10 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

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 lifeinto the hands of her enemies.

8. My inheritance has acted toward Melike a lion in the forest.She has roared against Me.Therefore, I hate her.

9. Is My inheritance like a hyena to Me?Are birds of prey circling her?Go, gather all the wild animals; bring them to devour her.

10. Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard;they have trampled My plot of land. They have turned My desirable plotinto a desolate wasteland.
