Jeremiah 12:6

Jeremiah 12:6 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

6Your relatives, members of your own family—

even they have betrayed you;

they have raised a loud cry against you.

Do not trust them,

though they speak well of you.

6“For even your 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, though they say nice things to you.”

God’s Answer

6For even your brothers and the household of your father,

Even they have dealt treacherously with you,

Even they have cried aloud after you.

Do not believe them, although they may say nice things to you.”

God’s Answer

6“For even your [tribal] brothers and the household of your father,

Even they have dealt treacherously (unfaithfully) with you;

Indeed they are [like a pack of hounds] howling after you.

Do not believe them, although they may say kind words and promise you good things.”

God’s Answer

6Even your brothers—

your own father’s household—

even they have betrayed you;

even they have cried aloud against you.

Do not trust them,

though they speak well of you.

6Even your relatives have turned against you.

They are members of your own family.

They have shouted loudly at you.

They might say nice things about you.

But do not trust them.
