6. Even your relatives, members of your own family, have betrayed you;they join in the attacks against you.Do not trust them, even though they speak friendly words.”
7. The Lord says,“I have abandoned Israel;I have rejected my chosen nation.I have given the people I loveinto the power of their enemies.
8. My chosen people have turned against me;like a lion in the forestthey have roared at me,and so I hate them.
9. My chosen people are like a birdattacked from all sides by hawks.Call the wild animalsto come and join in the feast!
10. Many foreign rulers have destroyed my vineyard;they have trampled down my fields;they have turned my lovely land into a desert.
11. They have made it a wilderness;it lies desolate before me.The whole land has become a desert,and no one cares.
12. Across all the desert highlandspeople have come to plunder.I have sent war to destroy the entire land;no one can live in peace.
13. My people sowed wheat, but gathered weeds;they have worked hard, but got nothing for it.Because of my fierce angertheir crops have failed.”
