Jeremiah:12:1-4
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Righteous art thou ,
O Lord ,
that I may make my defence to thee ,
yea ,
I will speak to thee of judgements .
Why is it that the way of ungodly men prospers ?
that all that deal very treacherously are flourishing ?
*
Thou hast planted them ,
and they have taken root ;
they have begotten children ,
and become fruitful ;
thou art near to their mouth ,
and far from their reins .
*
But thou ,
Lord ,
knowest me ;
thou hast proved my heart before thee ;
purify them for the day of their slaughter .
*
How long shall the land mourn ,
and the grass of the field wither ,
for the wickedness of them ,
that dwell in it ?
the beasts and birds are utterly destroyed ;
because the people said ,
God shall not see our ways .
