Jeremiah 12:1-3 (Good News Translation)
View In My Bible
1
"Lord, if I argued my case with you, you would prove to be right. Yet I must question you about matters of justice. Why are the wicked so prosperous? Why do dishonest people succeed?
2
You plant them, and they take root; they grow and bear fruit. They always speak well of you, yet they do not really care about you.
3
But, Lord, you know me; you see what I do and how I love you. Drag these evil people away like sheep to be butchered; guard them until it is time for them to be slaughtered.
