Jeremiah 12:1-3

1RighteousH6662 art thou, Jehovah, when I plead with thee; yet will I speakH1696 with thee of [thy] judgmentsH4941. Wherefore doth the wayH1870 of the wickedH7563 prosper? [wherefore] are all they at easeH7951 that dealH898 very treacherouslyH898?

2Thou hast plantedH5193 them, they alsoH1571 have taken rootH8327: they advance, yea, they bring forth fruitH6529: thou art near in their mouthH6310, but farH7350 from their reins.

3But thou, Jehovah, knowest me; thou hast seenH7200 me, and proved my heartH3820 toward thee. Drag them out like sheepH6629 for the slaughterH2028, and setH6942 them apartH6942 for the dayH3117 of slaughterH2028.
