Jeremiah 12:3

Jeremiah's Complaint

² You planted them, and they have taken root.
They have grown and produced fruit.
You are ever on their lips,
but far from their conscience.
³ As for You, Lord, You know me; You see me.
You test whether my heart is with You.
Drag the wicked away like sheep to slaughter
and set them apart for the day of killing.
⁴ How long will the land mourn
and the grass of every field wither?
Because of the evil of its residents,
animals and birds have been swept away,
for the people have said,
“He cannot see what our end will be.”
