5“If you have raced with men on foot
and they have worn you out,
how can you compete with horses?
If you stumble in a peaceful land,
how will you do in the thickets of the Jordan?
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.
— Jeremiah 12:5-6
