Jeremiah 12:4-6
Legacy Standard Bible
4 How long is the (A)land to mourn
And the (B)plants of every field to dry up?
Because of the (C)evil of those who inhabit it,
(D)Animals and birds have been swept away,
Because men have said, “He will not see our latter (E)ending.”
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](F)thicket of the Jordan?
6 For even your (G)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 (H)nice things to you.”
