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.
