Jeremiah 12:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 For even thy brethren and the house of thy father, even they have dealt unfaithfully with thee, and they have cried out altogether upon thee: but believe them not, though they speak fair to thee.
7 I have forsaken [a]mine house: I have left mine heritage: I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hands of her enemies.
8 Mine heritage is unto me, as a [b]lion in the forest: it crieth out against me, therefore have I hated it.
