Jeremiah 12:2–3

You plant them, and they take root;

they grow and produce fruit;

pyou are near in their mouth

and far from their heart.

qBut you, O Lord, know me;

ryou see me, and test my heart toward you.

sPull them out like sheep for the slaughter,

and set them apart for tthe day of slaughter.


Psalm 37:35–36

35  aI have seen a wicked, ruthless man,

spreading himself like ba green laurel tree.1

36  But he passed away,2 and behold, che was no more;

though I sought him, he could not be found.


Psalm 73:18–20

18  Truly you set them in xslippery places;

you make them fall to ruin.

19  How they are destroyed yin a moment,

swept away utterly by zterrors!

20  Like aa dream when one awakes,

O Lord, when byou rouse yourself, you despise them as phantoms.
