Jeremiah 12

Jeremiah 12:13

"They have sown wheat and have reaped thorns; they have tired themselves out but profit nothing.
They shall be ashamed of their harvests because of the fierce anger of the Lord.”

Jeremiah 12

Jeremiah’s Complaint

1 Righteous are you, O Lord,
when I complain to you;
yet I would plead my case before you.
Why does the way of the wicked prosper?
Why do all who are treacherous thrive?

2You plant them, and they take root;
they grow and produce fruit;
you are near in their mouth
and far from their heart.

3 But you, O Lord, know me;
you see me, and test my heart toward you.
Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter,
and set them apart for the day of slaughter.

4 How long will the land mourn
and the grass of every field wither?
For the evil of those who dwell in it
the beasts and the birds are swept away,
because they said, “He will not see our latter end.”
