Jeremiah 12
Amplified Bible Help
12UNCOMPROMISINGLY RIGHTEOUS {and} rigidly just are You, O Lord, when I complain against {and} contend with You. Yet let me plead {and} reason the case with You: Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are all they at ease {and} thriving who deal very treacherously {and} deceitfully?H6662H3068H7378H1696H4941H1870H7563H6743H7951H899H898 2You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; they grow, yes, they bring forth fruit. You are near in their mouths but far from their hearts.H5193H8327H3212H6213H6529H7138H6310H7350H3629 3But You, O Lord, know {and} understand me {and} my devotion to You; You see me and try my heart toward You. [O Lord] pull [these rebellious ones] out like sheep for the slaughter and devote {and} prepare them for the day of slaughter.H3068H3045H7200H974H3820H5423H6629H2878H6942H3117H2028 4How long must the land mourn and the grass {and} herbs of the whole country wither? Through the wickedness of those who dwell in it, the beasts and the birds are consumed {and} are swept away [by the drought], because men [mocked] me, saying, He shall not [live to] see our final end.H776H56H6212H7704H3001H7451H3427H929H5595H5775H559H7200H319 5[But the Lord rebukes Jeremiah's impatience, saying] If you have raced with men on foot and they have tired you out, then how can you compete with horses? And if [you take to flight] in a land of peace where you feel secure, then what will you do [when you tread the tangled maze of jungle haunted by lions] in the swelling {and} flooding of the Jordan?H7323H7273H3811H8474H5483H776H7965H982H6213H1347H3383 6For even your brethren and the house of your father--even they have dealt treacherously with you; yes, even they are [like a pack of hounds] in full cry after you. Believe them not, though they speak fair words {and} promise good things to you.H251H1004H1H898H7121H4392H310H539H1696H2896 7I have forsaken My house, I have cast off My heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of My life into the hands of her enemies.H5800H1004H5203H5159H5414H3033H5315H3709H341 8My heritage has become to Me like a lion in the forest; she has uttered her voice against Me; therefore I have [treated her as if I] hated her.H5159H738H3293H5414H6963H8130 9Is My heritage to Me like a speckled bird of prey? Are the birds of prey against her round about? Go, assemble all the wild beasts of the field; bring them to devour.H5159H6641H5861H5861H5439H3212H622H2416H7704H857H402 10Many shepherds [of an invading host] have destroyed My vineyard, they have trampled My portion underfoot; they have made My pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.H7227H7462H7843H3754H947H2513H947H5414H2532H2513H8077H4057 11They have made it a desolation, and desolate it mourns before Me; the whole land has been made desolate, but no man lays it to heart.H7760H8076H8077H56H776H8074H376H7760H3820 12Destroyers have come upon all the bare heights in the desert, for the sword of the Lord devours from one end of the land even to the other; no flesh has peace {or} can find the means to escape.H7703H935H8205H4057H2719H3068H398H7097H776H7097H776H1320H7965 13They have sown wheat but have reaped thorns; they have worn themselves out but without profit. And they shall be ashamed of your [lack of] harvests {and} revenues because of the fierce {and} glowing anger of the Lord.H2232H2406H7114H6975H2470H3276H954H8393H2740H639H3068 14Thus says the Lord against all My evil neighbor [nations] who touch the inheritance which I have caused My people Israel to inherit: Behold, I will pluck them up from their land and I will pluck up the house of Judah from among them.H559H3068H7451H7934H5060H5159H5971H3478H5157H5428H127H5428H1004H3063H8432 15And after I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them and will bring them back again, every man to his heritage and every man to his land.H310H5428H7725H7355H7725H376H5159H376H776 16And if these [neighbor nations] will diligently learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, saying, As the Lord lives--even as they taught My people to swear by Baal--then will they be built up in the midst of My people.H3925H3925H1870H5971H7650H8034H3068H2416H3925H5971H7650H1168H1129H8432H5971 17But if any nation will not hear and obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, says the Lord.H8085H5428H5428H6H1471H5002H3068
