Jeremiah 12:3

Jeremiah's Complaint

² You have planted them, they have also taken root;
They grow, they have even produced fruit.
You are near to their lips
But far from their mind.
³ But You know me, O Lord;
You see me;
And You examine my heart’s attitude toward You.
Drag them off like sheep for the slaughter
And set them apart for a day of carnage!
⁴ How long is the land to mourn
And the vegetation of the countryside to wither?
For the wickedness of those who dwell in it,
Animals and birds have been snatched away,
Because men have said, “He will not see our latter ending.”
