nasb @Jeremiah:6:1 @Righteous are You , O LORD , that I would plead my case with You ; Indeed I would discuss matters of justice with You - Why has the way of the wicked prospered ? Why are all those who deal in treachery at ease ? nasb @Jeremiah:6:2 @You have planted them , they have also taken root ; They grow , they have even produced fruit . You are near to their lips But far from their mind . nasb @Jeremiah:6:3 @But You know me , O LORD ; You see me ; And You examine my heart 's attitude toward You . Drag them off like sheep for the slaughter And set them apart for a day of carnage ! nasb @Jeremiah:6:4 @How long is the land to mourn And the vegetation of the countryside to wither ? For the wickedness of those who dwell in it , Animals and birds have been snatched away , Because men have said , "He will not see our latter ending ." nasb @Jeremiah:6:5 " @If you have run with footmen and they have tired you out , Then how can you compete with horses ? If you fall down in a land of peace , How will you do in the thicket of the Jordan ? nasb @Jeremiah:6:6 " @For even your brothers and the household of your father , Even they have dealt treacherously with you , Even they have cried aloud after you . Do not believe them , although they may say nice things to you ." nasb @Jeremiah:6:7 " @I have forsaken My house , I have abandoned My inheritance ; I have given the beloved of My soul Into the hand of her enemies . nasb @Jeremiah:6:8 " @My inheritance has become to Me Like a lion in the forest ; She has roared against Me ; Therefore I have come to hate her . nasb @Jeremiah:6:9 " @Is My inheritance like a speckled bird of prey to Me ? Are the birds of prey against her on every side ? Go , gather all the beasts of the field , Bring them to devour ! nasb @Jeremiah:6:10 " @Many shepherds have ruined My vineyard , They have trampled down My field ; They have made My pleasant field A desolate wilderness . nasb @Jeremiah:6:11 " @It has been made a desolation , Desolate , it mourns before Me ; The whole land has been made desolate , Because no man lays it to heart . nasb @Jeremiah:6:12 " @On all the bare heights in the wilderness Destroyers have come , For a sword of the LORD is devouring From one end of the land even to the other ; There is no peace for anyone . nasb @Jeremiah:6:13 " @They have sown wheat and have reaped thorns , They have strained themselves to no profit . But be ashamed of your harvest Because of the fierce anger of the LORD ." nasb @Jeremiah:6:14 @Thus says the LORD concerning all My wicked neighbors who strike at the inheritance with which I have endowed My people Israel , "Behold I am about to uproot them from their land and will uproot the house of Judah from among them . nasb @Jeremiah:6:15 " @And it will come about that after I have uprooted them , I will again have compassion on them ; and I will bring them back , each one to his inheritance and each one to his land . nasb @Jeremiah:6:16 " @Then if they will really learn the ways of My people , to swear by My name , 'As the LORD lives ,' even as they taught My people to swear by Baal , they will be built up in the midst of My people . nasb @Jeremiah:6:17 " @But if they will not listen , then I will uproot that nation , uproot and destroy it ," declares the LORD .
