Jeremiah 12
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
a
wicked
prosper?
wherefore
are
all
they
happy
that
deal
very
treacherously?
2
a
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.
3 But
thou,
O
Lord,
a
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.
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.
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?
6 For
even
thy
a
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.
7 I
have
a
forsaken
mine
house,
I
have
left
mine
heritage;
I
have
given
the
dearly
beloved
of
my
soul
into
the
hand
of
her
enemies.
8 Mine
heritage
is
unto
me
as
a
lion
in
the
forest;
it
crieth
out
against
me:
therefore
have
I
hated
it.
9 Mine
heritage
is
unto
me
as
a
speckled
bird,
the
birds
round
about
are
against
her;
come
ye,
assemble
all
the
a
beasts
of
the
field,
come
to
devour.
10 Many
a
pastors
have
destroyed
my
b
vineyard,
they
have
trodden
my
portion
under
foot,
they
have
made
my
pleasant
portion
a
desolate
wilderness.
11 They
have
made
it
desolate,
and
being
desolate
it
mourneth
unto
me;
the
whole
land
is
made
desolate,
because
no
man
a
layeth
it
to
heart.
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.
13 They
have
sown
wheat,
but
shall
reap
thorns:
they
have
a
put
themselves
to
pain,
but
shall
not
profit:
and
they
shall
be
ashamed
of
your
revenues
because
of
the
fierce
anger
of
the
Lord.
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.
15 And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
after
that
I
have
plucked
them
out
I
will
return,
and
have
a
compassion
on
them,
and
will
b
bring
them
again,
every
man
to
his
heritage,
and
every
man
to
his
land.
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.
17 But
if
they
will
not
a
obey,
I
will
utterly
pluck
up
and
destroy
that
b
nation,
saith
the
Lord.
