New Century Version

Jeremiah 12:5-8 New Century Version (NCV)

5. “If you get tired while racing against people,how can you race against horses?If you stumble in a country that is safe,what will you do in the thick thornbushes along the Jordan River?

6. Even your own brothers and members of your own familyare making plans against you.They are crying out against you.Don’t trust them,even when they say nice things to you!

7. “I have left Israel;I have left my people.I have given the people I loveover to their enemies.

8. My people have become to melike a lion in the forest.They roar at me,so I hate them.
