CHAP. XII.
1 Jeremiah complaining of the prosperity of
the wicked, by faith seeth their ruin. 5 God
admonisheth him of his brethren's treachery
against him, 7 and lamenteth his heritage.
14 He promiseth to the penitent a return
from captivity.
1 Righteous art thou, O Lord,
when I plead with thee: yet note let
me speak with thee of thy judgments:
note Why doth the way of the wicked prosper?
why are they all happy that deal
very treacherously?
2 Thou hast planted them, yes, they
have taken root: note they grow, yes, they
bring forth fruit: thou art near in their
mouth, and far from their reins.
3 But thou, O Lord, note knowest me:
thou hast seen me, and tried my heart
note towards thee: pull them out like sheep
for the slaughter, and prepare them for
the day of slaughter.

Before CHRIST, 712.
4 How long shall the land mourn, and
the herbs of every field wither, note for the
wickedness of them that dwell therein?
the beasts are consumed, and the birds;
because they said, He will not see our
last end.
5 ¶2; If 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, in which thou hast
trusted, they wearied thee, then how wilt
thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
6 For even note thy brethren, and the
house of thy father, even they have dealt
treacherously with thee; yes, note they have
called a multitude after thee: believe
them not, though they speak note fair words
to thee.
7 ¶2; I have forsaken my house, I have
left my heritage; I have given note the dearly
beloved of my soul into the hand of
her enemies.
8 My heritage is to me as a lion in the
forest; it note note crieth out against me: therefore
have I hated it.
9 My heritage is to me as a note speckled
bird, the birds around are against her;
come ye, assemble all the beasts of the
field, note come to devour.
10 Many pastors have destroyed my
vineyard, they have trodden my portion
under foot, they have made my note pleasant
portion a desolate wilderness.
11 They have made it desolate, and
being desolate it mourneth to me; the
whole land is made desolate, because no
man layeth it to heart.
12 The spoilers have 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.
13 noteThey 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.
14 ¶2; Thus saith the Lord against all
my evil neighbors, that touch the inheritance
which I have caused my people
Israel to inherit; Behold, I will note pluck
them out of their land, and pluck out the
house of Judah from among them.
15 And it shall come to pass, after 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.
16 And 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.
17 But if they will not note obey, I will
utterly pluck up and destroy that nation,
saith the Lord.
