Jeremiah:12:1-4

* Righteous art thou , Jehovah , when I plead with thee ; yet will I speak with thee of [thy ] judgments . Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper ? [wherefore ] are all they at ease that deal very treacherously ? * Thou hast planted them , they also have taken root : they advance , yea , they bring forth fruit : thou art near in their mouth , but far from their reins . * But thou , Jehovah , knowest me ; thou hast seen me , and proved my heart toward thee . Drag them out like sheep for the slaughter , and set them apart for the day of slaughter . * How long shall the land mourn , and the herbs of all the fields wither ? Because of the wickedness of them that dwell therein , the beasts and the birds perish ; for they say , He will not see our end .
