Jeremiah

Jeremiah 12

"Righteous art thou, O�Lord,when I complain to thee;yet I would plead my case before thee.Why does the way of the wicked prosper?Why do all who are treacherous thrive?"
"Thou plantest them, and they take root;they grow and bring forth fruit;thou art near in their mouthand far from their heart."
"But thou, O�Lord, knowest me;thou seest me, and triest my mind toward thee.Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter,and set them apart for the day of slaughter."
