Jeremiah 12:1

Expanded Bible

12 Lord, when I bring ·my case to [charges against] you,
    you are ·always right [righteous].
But I want to ·ask you about the justice you give [put my case to you].
    Why ·are evil people [^Lis the way/path of the wicked] successful?
    Why do ·dishonest [treasonous; treacherous] people ·have such easy lives [thrive; Job; Ps. 73; Eccl. 7:15–18; 8:10–12]?
