Jeremiah:12:1 @
Righteous [
art ]
Thou ,
O Jehovah ,
When I plead towards thee ,
Only ,
judgments do I speak with Thee ,
Wherefore did the way of the wicked prosper ?
At rest have been all treacherous dealers .
ylt @
Jeremiah:12:2 @
Thou hast planted them ,
yea ,
they have taken root ,
They go on ,
yea ,
they have made fruit ,
Near [
art ]
Thou in their mouth ,
And far off from their reins .
ylt @
Jeremiah:12:3 @
And Thou ,
O Jehovah ,
Thou hast known me ,
Thou seest me ,
and hast tried my heart with Thee ,
Draw them away as sheep to slaughter ,
And separate them for a day of slaughter .
ylt @
Jeremiah:12:4 @
Till when doth the earth mourn ,
And the herb of the whole field wither ?
For the wickedness of those dwelling in it ,
Consumed have been beast and fowl ,
Because they said , '
He doth not see our latter end .'
ylt @
Jeremiah:12:5 @
For --
with footmen thou hast run ,
And they weary thee ,
And how dost thou fret thyself with horses !
Even in the land of peace , [
In which ]
thou art confident --
And how dost thou in the rising of Jordan !
ylt @
Jeremiah:12:6 @
For even thy brethren and the house of thy father ,
Even they dealt treacherously against thee ,
Even they --
they called after thee fully ,
Trust not in them ,
when they speak to thee good things .

Jeremiah:12:7 @
I have forsaken My house ,
I have left Mine inheritance ,
I have given the beloved of My soul Into the hand of her enemies .
ylt @
Jeremiah:12:8 @
Mine inheritance hath been to Me as a lion in a forest ,
She gave forth against Me with her voice ,
Therefore I have hated her .
ylt @
Jeremiah:12:9 @
A speckled fowl [
is ]
Mine inheritance to Me ?
Is the fowl round about against her ?
Come ,
assemble ,
every beast of the field ,
Come ye for food .

Jeremiah:12:10 @
Many shepherds did destroy My vineyard ,
They have trodden down My portion ,
They have made My desirable portion Become a wilderness --
a desolation .
ylt @
Jeremiah:12:11 @
He hath made it become a desolation ,
The desolation hath mourned unto Me ,
Desolated hath been all the land ,
But there is no one laying it to heart .
ylt @
Jeremiah:12:12 @
On all high places in the plain have spoilers come in ,
For the sword of Jehovah is consuming ,
From the end of the land even unto the end of the land ,
There is no peace to any flesh .
ylt @
Jeremiah:12:13 @
They sowed wheat ,
and have thorns reaped ,
They have become sick --
they profit not ,
And they have been ashamed of your increases ,
Because of the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah .
ylt @
Jeremiah:12:14 @
Thus said Jehovah concerning all my evil neighbours ,
who are striking against the inheritance that I caused my people --
Israel --
to inherit : '
Lo ,
I am plucking them from off their ground ,
And the house of Judah I pluck out of their midst .
ylt @
Jeremiah:12:15 @
And it hath been ,
after My plucking them out ,
I turn back ,
and have pitied them ,
And I have brought them back ,
Each to his inheritance ,
and each to his land .
ylt @
Jeremiah:12:16 @
And it hath come to pass ,
If they learn well the ways of My people ,
To swear by My name , '
Jehovah liveth ,'
As they taught My people to swear by Baal ,
Then they have been built up in the midst of My people .
ylt @
Jeremiah:12:17 @
And if they do not hearken ,
Then I have plucked up that nation ,
Plucking up and destroying ,
An affirmation of Jehovah !'
