Jeremiah 12:5-6
Legacy Standard Bible
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.”

Jeremiah 20:10
Legacy Standard Bible
10 For (A)I have heard the bad report of many,
“(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:
“Perhaps he will be [b]deceived, so that we may (E)prevail against him
And take our revenge on him.”
