Jeremiah 12:1-3

1RighteousH6662 art thou, O YhwhH3068, when I pleadH7378 with thee: yet let me talkH1696 with thee of thy judgmentsH4941: Wherefore doth the wayH1870 of the wickedH7563 prosperH6743? wherefore are all they happyH7951 that deal veryH899 treacherouslyH898?1

2Thou hast plantedH5193 them, yea, they have taken rootH8327: they growH3212, yea, they bring forthH6213 fruitH6529: thou art nearH7138 in their mouthH6310, and far fromH7350 their reinsH3629.2

3But thou, O YhwhH3068, knowestH3045 me: thou hast seenH7200 me, and triedH974 mine heartH3820 toward thee: pull them outH5423 like sheepH6629 for the slaughterH2878, and prepareH6942 them for the dayH3117 of slaughterH2028.3
