Jeremiah 12:5-6

Yahweh Answers Jeremiah
5 “If you have run with footmen and they have tired you out,
Then how can you compete with horses?
If you fall down in a land of peace,
How will you do in the [a](A)thicket of the Jordan?
6 For even your (B)brothers and the household of your father,
Even they have dealt treacherously with you,
Even they have called aloud after you.
Do not believe them, although they may say (C)nice things to you.”

God’s Answer
5 “If you have raced with men on foot
and they have worn you out,
how can you compete with horses?
If you stumble[a] in safe country,
how will you manage in the thickets(A) by[b] the Jordan?
6 Your relatives, members of your own family—
even they have betrayed you;
they have raised a loud cry against you.(B)
Do not trust them,
though they speak well of you.(C)

“(B)Terror on every side!
(C)Denounce him; yes, let us denounce him!”
[a]All my (D)trusted friends,
Keeping watch for my fall, say:

And take our revenge on him.”
