Jeremiah 12:1–2
Jeremiah’s Complaint
1 Righteous are you, O Lord,
when I complain to you;
yet I would plead my case before you.
qWhy does the way of the wicked prosper?
Why do all who are treacherous thrive?
2 You plant them, and they take root;
they grow and produce fruit;
you are rnear in their mouth
and far from their heart.
