@
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
?
strkjv@Jeremiah: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
.
strkjv@Jeremiah: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
.
strkjv@Jeremiah: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
.
strkjv@Jeremiah: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
?
strkjv@Jeremiah: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.
strkjv@Jeremiah: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
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:12:8
@ Mine
heritage
is unto me as a
lion
in the
forest
; it crieth
out
against me: therefore have I
hated
it.
strkjv@Jeremiah: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
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:12:10
@
Many
pastors
have
destroyed
my
vineyard
, they have
trodden
my
portion
under
foot
, they have
made
my
pleasant
portion
a
desolate
wilderness
.
strkjv@Jeremiah: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
.
strkjv@Jeremiah: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
.
strkjv@Jeremiah: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
.
strkjv@Jeremiah: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.
strkjv@Jeremiah: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
.
strkjv@Jeremiah: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
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:12:17
@ But if they will not
obey
, I will
utterly
pluck
up
and
destroy
that
nation
,
saith
the
LORD
.
