Jeremiah 12:1-2

11Righteous are You, O Lord, that I would plead my case with You; Indeed I would 2discuss matters of justice with You: Why has the 3way of the wicked prospered? Why are all those who 4deal in treachery at ease?2You have 5planted them, they have also taken root; They grow, they have even produced fruit. You are 6near 7to their lips But far from their 8mind.
