Chap. XII.
note
It semeth strange that the wicked prosper. 5. The Iewes heretofore afflicted
by weaker enimies, shal be more oppressed by the Babylonians. 10. Euil
pastors shal be punished. 14. and forraine enimies destroyed.

1 Thov in deede รด Lord art iust, if I dispute with thee,
but yet I wil speake iust thinges to thee: note Why doth the
way of the impious prosper: why is it wel with al that transgresse,
and doe wickedly?
2 Thou hast planted them, and
they haue taken roote: they prosper and bring forth fruite:
thou art nigh to their mouth, and farre from their reynes.
3 And thou Lord hast knowen me, thou hast sene me, and
proued my hart with thee: gather them together as a flocke
to the victime, and note sanctifie them in the day of slaughter.
4 How long shal the land mourne, and the herbe of euerie
fielde be withered for malice of the inhabitants therein? Beast
is consumed, and foule: because they haue saied: He shal not
see our later endes.
5 If running with footemen thou hast laboured:
how canst thou contend with horses? And whereas
in a land of peace thou hast bene secure, what wilt thou doe
in the pride of Iordan?
6 For euen thy bretheren, & the house
of thy father, they also haue fought against thee, and haue
cried after thee with ful voice: beleue them not when they
shal speake good thinges vnto thee.
7 I haue forsaken my
house, I haue left mine inheritance: I haue geuen my beloued
soule into the hand of her enemies.
8 Myne inheritance is
become vnto me as a lion in the wood: it hath vttered a voice
against me, therefore haue I hated it.
9 Why, is myne inheritance
vnto me as a bird of diuers coulors? is it as a birde died
through out? come, assemble yourselues al ye beastes of the
land, make haste to deuoure.
10 Manie pastours haue destroyed
my vineyard, they haue troden downe my portion: they haue
made my portion that was worthie to be desired, into a desert
of desolation.
11 They haue laied it into dissipation, and it
hath mourned vpon me. With desolation is al the land made
desolate: because there is none that considereth in the hart.
12 Vpon al the wayes of the desert the wasters are come, because
the sword of our Lord shal deuoure from one end of
the land to the other end thereof: there is no peace to al flesh
13 They haue sowen wheate, and reaped thornes: they haue
taken an inheritance, and it shal not profite them: you shal be
ashamed of your fruites, for the wrath of the furie of our
Lord.
14 Thus saith the Lord against al my most wicked neighbours:
notewhich touche the inheritance that I haue distributed
to my people of Israel: Behold I wil plucke them out of
their land, & the house of Iuda I wil plucke out of the middes
-- --
of them.
15 And when I shal haue plucked them out, I wil returne,
and haue mercie on them: and wil bring them backe,
euerie man to his inheritance, and euerie man into his land.
16 And it shal be: if being taught they wil learne the waies of
my people, that they sweare in my name: Our Lord liueth, as
they haue taught my people to sweare by Baal: they shal be
built in the middes of my people.
17 But if they wil not heare,
I wil plucke out that nation with plucking vp and with destruction,
saith our Lord.
