Unchecked Copy BoxJer 12:1 - Righteous art thou, O Lord, that I may make my defence to thee, yea, I will speak to thee of judgments. Why is it that the way of ungodly men prospers? that all that deal very treacherously are flourishing?
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 12:2 - Thou hast planted them, and they have taken root; they have begotten children, and become fruitful; thou art near to their mouth, and far from their reins.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 12:3 - But thou, Lord, knowest me; thou hast proved my heart before thee; purify them for the day of their slaughter.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 12:4 - How long shall the land mourn, and the grass of the field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell in it? the beasts and birds are utterly destroyed; because the people said, God shall not see our ways.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 12:5 - Thy feet run, and they cause thee to faint; how wilt thou prepare to ride upon horses? and thou hast been confident in the land of thy peace? how wilt thou do in the roaring of Jordan?
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 12:6 - For even thy brethren and the house of thy father, even these have dealt treacherously with thee; and they have cried out, they are gathered together in pursuit of thee; trust not thou in them, though they shall speak fair words to thee.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 12:7 - I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given my beloved one into the hands of her enemies.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 12:8 - My inheritance has become to me as a lion in a forest; she has uttered her voice against me; therefore have I hated her.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 12:9 - Is not my inheritance to me a hyæna's cave, or a cave round about her? Go ye, gather together all the wild beasts of the field, and let them come to devour her.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 12:10 - Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have defiled my portion, they have made my desirable portion a trackless wilderness;
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 12:11 - it is made a complete ruin: for my sake the whole land has been utterly ruined, because there is none that lays the matter to heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 12:12 - The ravagers are come to every passage in the wilderness: for the sword of the Lord will devour from one end of the land to the other: no flesh has any peace.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 12:13 - Sow wheat, and reap thorns; their portions shall not profit them: be ashamed of your boasting, because of reproach before the Lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 12:14 - For thus saith the Lord concerning all the evil neighbours that touch mine inheritance, which I have divided to my people Israel; Behold, I will draw them away from their land, and I will cast out Juda from the midst of them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 12:15 - And it shall come to pass, after I have cast them out, that I will return, and have mercy upon them, and will cause them to dwell every one in his inheritance, and every one in his land.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 12:16 - And it shall be, if they will indeed learn the way of my people, to swear by my name, saying, The Lord lives; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall that nation be built in the midst of my people.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 12:17 - But if they will not return, then will I cut off that nation with utter ruin and destruction.
