Jeremiah 12:2-4
New King James Version
Jeremiah 12:2-4
New King James Version
2 You have planted them, yes, they have taken root;
They grow, yes, they bear fruit.
(A)You are near in their mouth
But far from their [a]mind.
3 But You, O Lord, (B)know me;
You have seen me,
And You have (C)tested my heart toward You.
Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter,
And prepare them for (D)the day of slaughter.
4 How long will (E)the land mourn,
And the herbs of every field wither?
(F)The beasts and birds are consumed,
(G)For the wickedness of those who dwell there,
Because they said, “He will not see our final end.”
