New International Reader's Version

Jeremiah 12:6-9 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

6. Even your own family has turned against you. They have shouted loudly at you. They might say nice things about you. But do not trust them.

7. "I will turn my back on my people. I will desert my land. I love the people of Judah. In spite of that, I will hand them over to their enemies.

8. My land has become to me like a lion in the forest. It roars at me. So I hate it.

9. My own land has become like a spotted hawk. And other hawks surround it and attack it. Come, all of you wild animals! Gather together! Come together to eat up my land.
