Jeremiah 12:1-2

Jeremiah’s Complaint

1  a Righteous are you, O  Lord,
when I complain to you;
yet I would plead my case before you.
b Why does the way of the wicked prosper?
Why do all c who are treacherous thrive?
 2 You plant them, and they take root;
they grow and produce fruit;
d you are near in their mouth
and far from their heart.
