Jeremiah 12 (kjv)

Righteous^H6662 art thou, O LORD^H3068, when I plead^H7378 with thee: yet let me talk^H1696 with thee of thy judgments^H4941: Wherefore doth the way^H1870 of the wicked^H7563 prosper^H6743? wherefore are all they happy^H7951 that deal very^H899 treacherously^H898?²Thou hast planted^H5193 them, yea, they have taken root^H8327: they grow^H3212, yea, they bring forth^H6213 fruit^H6529: thou art near^H7138 in their mouth^H6310, and far from^H7350 their reins^H3629.³But thou, O LORD^H3068, knowest^H3045 me: thou hast seen^H7200 me, and tried^H974 mine heart^H3820 toward thee: pull them out^H5423 like sheep^H6629 for the slaughter^H2878, and prepare^H6942 them for the day^H3117 of slaughter^H2028.⁴How long shall the land^H776 mourn^H56, and the herbs^H6212 of every field^H7704 wither^H3001, for the wickedness^H7451 of them that dwell^H3427 therein? the beasts^H929 are consumed^H5595, and the birds^H5775; because they said^H559, He shall not see^H7200 our last end^H319.

⁵If thou hast run^H7323 with the footmen^H7273, and they have wearied^H3811 thee, then how canst thou contend^H8474 with horses^H5483? and if in the land^H776 of peace^H7965, wherein thou trustedst^H982, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do^H6213 in the swelling^H1347 of Jordan^H3383?⁶For even thy brethren^H251, and the house^H1004 of thy father^H1, even they have dealt treacherously^H898 with thee; yea, they have called^H7121 a multitude^H4392 after^H310 thee: believe^H539 them not, though they speak^H1696 fair words^H2896 unto thee.

⁷I have forsaken^H5800 mine house^H1004, I have left^H5203 mine heritage^H5159; I have given^H5414 the dearly beloved^H3033 of my soul^H5315 into the hand^H3709 of her enemies^H341.⁸Mine heritage^H5159 is unto me as a lion^H738 in the forest^H3293; it crieth out^{H5414 H6963} against me: therefore have I hated^H8130 it.⁹Mine heritage^H5159 is unto me as a speckled^H6641 bird^H5861, the birds^H5861 round about^H5439 are against her; come^H3212 ye, assemble^H622 all the beasts^H2416 of the field^H7704, come^H857 to devour^H402.¹⁰Many^H7227 pastors^H7462 have destroyed^H7843 my vineyard^H3754, they have trodden^H947 my portion^H2513 under foot^H947, they have made^H5414 my pleasant^H2532 portion^H2513 a desolate^H8077 wilderness^H4057.¹¹They have made^H7760 it desolate^H8076, and being desolate^H8077 it mourneth^H56 unto me; the whole land^H776 is made desolate^H8074, because no man^H376 layeth^H7760 it to heart^H3820.¹²The spoilers^H7703 are come^H935 upon all high places^H8205 through the wilderness^H4057: for the sword^H2719 of the LORD^H3068 shall devour^H398 from the one end^H7097 of the land^H776 even to the other end^H7097 of the land^H776: no flesh^H1320 shall have peace^H7965.¹³They have sown^H2232 wheat^H2406, but shall reap^H7114 thorns^H6975: they have put themselves to pain^H2470, but shall not profit^H3276: and they shall be ashamed^H954 of your revenues^H8393 because of the fierce^H2740 anger^H639 of the LORD^H3068.

¹⁴Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 against all mine evil^H7451 neighbours^H7934, that touch^H5060 the inheritance^H5159 which I have caused my people^H5971 Israel^H3478 to inherit^H5157; Behold, I will pluck them out^H5428 of their land^H127, and pluck out^H5428 the house^H1004 of Judah^H3063 from among^H8432 them.¹⁵And it shall come to pass, after^H310 that I have plucked them out^H5428 I will return^H7725, and have compassion^H7355 on them, and will bring them again^H7725, every man^H376 to his heritage^H5159, and every man^H376 to his land^H776.¹⁶And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently^H3925 learn^H3925 the ways^H1870 of my people^H5971, to swear^H7650 by my name^H8034, The LORD^H3068 liveth^H2416; as they taught^H3925 my people^H5971 to swear^H7650 by Baal^H1168; then shall they be built^H1129 in the midst^H8432 of my people^H5971.¹⁷But if they will not obey^H8085, I will utterly^H5428 pluck up^H5428 and destroy^H6 that nation^H1471, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.
