JER-12:1 Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee:
yet let me
talk with thee of [thy] judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the
wicked
prosper? [wherefore] are all they happy that deal very
treacherously?
JER-12:2 Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root:
they grow, yea,
they bring forth fruit: thou [art] near in their mouth, and far
from their
reins.
JER-12:3 But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and
tried mine
heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter,
and prepare
them for the day of slaughter.
JER-12:4 How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every
field wither,
for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are
consumed, and
the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end.
JER-12:5 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have
wearied thee, then
how canst thou contend with horses? and [if] in the land of
peace, [wherein]
thou trustedst, [they wearied thee], then how wilt thou do in
the swelling of
Jordan?
JER-12:6 For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father,
even they have
dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude
after thee:
believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.
JER-12:7 I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage;
I have given
the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
JER-12:8 Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it
crieth out
against me: therefore have I hated it.
JER-12:9 Mine heritage [is] unto me [as] a speckled bird, the
birds round
about [are] against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the
field, come
to devour.
JER-12:10 Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have
trodden my
portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a
desolate wilderness.
JER-12:11 They have made it desolate, [and being] desolate it
mourneth unto
me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth [it]
to heart.
JER-12:12 The spoilers are come upon all high places through
the wilderness:
for the sword of the LORD shall devour from the [one] end of the
land even to
the [other] end of the land: no flesh shall have peace.
JER-12:13 They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they
have put
themselves to pain, [but] shall not profit: and they shall be
ashamed of your
revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
JER-12:14 Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours,
that touch
the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit;
Behold, I
will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of
Judah from among
them.
JER-12:15 And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked
them out I
will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them
again, every man
to his heritage, and every man to his land.
JER-12:16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently
learn the ways
of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they
taught my people
to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my
people.
JER-12:17 But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up
and destroy that
nation, saith the LORD.
