Book 24 Jeremiah Chapter 012

 

012:001Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me
talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the
wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very
treacherously?

 

012:002Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow,
yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and
far from their reins.

 

012:003But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried
mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the
slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.

 

012:004How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field
wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the
beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He
shall not see our last end.

 

012:005If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee,
then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of
peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how
wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?

 

012:006For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they
have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a
multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair
words unto thee.

 

012:007I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have
given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her
enemies.

 

012:008Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth
out against me: therefore have I hated it.

 

012:009Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round
about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the
field, come to devour.

 

012:010Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my
portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a
desolate wilderness.

 

012:011They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth
unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man
layeth it to heart.

 

012:012The spoilers are come upon all high places through the
wilderness: for the sword of the LORD shall devour from the
one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no
flesh shall have peace.

 

012:013They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put
themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be
ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the
LORD.

 

012:014Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours, that
touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to
inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and
pluck out the house of Judah from among them.

 

012:015And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out
I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring
them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his
land.

 

012:016And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the
ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as
they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be
built in the midst of my people.

 

012:017But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy
that nation, saith the LORD.
