Jeremiah 12:1-5

11RighteousH6662 are You, LordH3068, whenH3588 I pleadH7378 my caseH7378 with You; NeverthelessH389 I would 2discussH1696 mattersH4941 ofH4941 justiceH4941 with You: WhyH4069 has the 3wayH1870 of the wickedH7563 prosperedH6743? Why areH7951 allH3605 those who 4dealH898 in treacheryH899 atH7951 easeH7951?2You have 5plantedH5193 them, they have alsoH1571 takenH8327 rootH8327; They growH1980, they have alsoH1571 producedH6213 fruitH6529. You are 6nearH7138 7to their lipsH6310 But farH7350 from their 8mindH3629.3But You 9knowH3045 me, LordH3068; You seeH7200 me And 10examineH974 my heart’sH3820 attitude towardH854 You. DragH5423 them offH5423 like sheepH6629 for the slaughterH2878, And 11setH6942 them apartH6942 for a 12dayH3117 of slaughterH2028!4HowH4970 longH5704H4970 is the 13landH776 to mournH56, And the 14vegetationH6212 of the 15countrysideH3605H7704 to dryH3001 upH3001? Due to the 16wickednessH7463 of those who liveH3427 in it, 17AnimalsH929 and birdsH5775 have been snatchedH5595 awayH5595, BecauseH3588 people have saidH559, “He will not seeH7200 our finalH319 18endH319.”

5“IfH3588 you have runH7323 with infantrymenH7273 and they have tiredH3811 you outH3811, HowH349 can you competeH2734 with horsesH5483? If you fallH982 downH982 in a landH776 of peaceH7965, HowH349 will you doH6213 in the 19thicketH1347 by the JordanH3383?
