4 How long will athe land mourn,
And the herbs of every field wither?
bThe beasts and birds are consumed,
cFor the wickedness of those who dwell there,
Because they said, “He will not see our final end.”

The Lord Answers Jeremiah
5 “If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you,
Then how can you contend with horses?
And if in the land of peace,
In which you trusted, they wearied you,
Then how will you do in athe floodplain of the Jordan?

And if in the land of peace,
In which you trusted, they wearied you,
Then how will you do in athe floodplain of the Jordan?
6 For even ayour brothers, the house of your father,
Even they have dealt treacherously with you;
Yes, they have called1 a multitude after you.
bDo not believe them,
Even though they speak1 smooth words to you.
Even they have dealt treacherously with you;
Yes, they have called1 a multitude after you.
bDo not believe them,

7 “I have forsaken My house, I have left My heritage;
I have given the dearly beloved of My soul into the hand of her enemies.
I have given the dearly beloved of My soul into the hand of her enemies.
8 My heritage is to Me like a lion in the forest;
It cries out against Me;
Therefore I have ahated it.
It cries out against Me;
Therefore I have ahated it.
