Chapter 12
| Jere | DRC | 12:1 | Thou indeed, O Lord, art just, if I plead with thee, but yet I will speak what is just to thee: Why doth the way of the wicked prosper: why is it well with all them that transgress, and do wickedly? | |
| Jere | DRC | 12:2 | Thou hast planted them, and they have taken root: they prosper and bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins. | |
| Jere | DRC | 12:3 | And thou, O Lord, hast known me, thou hast seen me, and proved my heart with thee: gather them together as for the day of slaughter. | |
| Jere | DRC | 12:4 | How long shall the land mourn, and the herb of every field wither for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? The beasts and the birds are consumed: because they have said: He shall not see our last end. | |
| Jere | DRC | 12:5 | If thou hast been wearied with running with footmen, how canst thou contend with horses? and if thou hast been secure in a land of peace, what wilt thou do in the swelling of the Jordan? | |
| Jere | DRC | 12:6 | For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have fought against thee, and have cried after thee with full voice: believe them not when they speak good things to thee. | |
| Jere | DRC | 12:7 | I have forsaken my house, I have left my inheritance: I have given my dear soul into the hand of her enemies. | |
| Jere | DRC | 12:8 | My inheritance is become to me as a lion in the wood: it hath cried out against me, therefore have I hated it. | |
| Jere | DRC | 12:9 | Is my inheritance to me as a speckled bird? is it as a bird dyed throughout? come ye, assemble yourselves, all ye beasts of the earth, make haste to devour. | |
| Jere | DRC | 12:10 | Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot: they have changed my delightful portion into a desolate wilderness. | |
| Jere | DRC | 12:11 | They have laid it waste, and it hath mourned for me. With desolation is all the land made desolate; because there is none that considereth in the heart. | |
| Jere | DRC | 12:12 | The spoilers are come upon all the ways of the wilderness, for the sword of the Lord shall devour from one end of the land to the other end thereof: there is no peace for all flesh. | |
| Jere | DRC | 12:13 | They have sown wheat, and reaped thorns: they have received an inheritance, and it shall not profit them: you shall be ashamed of your fruits, because of the fierce wrath of the Lord. | |
| Jere | DRC | 12:14 | Thus saith the Lord against all wicked neighbours, that touch the inheritance that I have shared out to my people Israel: Behold I will pluck them out of their land, and I will pluck the house of Juda out of the midst of them. | |
| Jere | DRC | 12:15 | And when I shall have plucked them out, I will return, and have mercy on them: and will bring them back, every man to his inheritance, and every man into his land. | |
| Jere | DRC | 12:16 | And it shall come to pass, if they will be taught, and will learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name: The Lord liveth, as they have taught my people to swear by Baal: that they shall be built up in the midst of my people. | |
