Jeremiah 12:2-4

Revised Geneva Translation

² You have planted them, and they have taken root. They grow and bring forth fruit. You are near in their mouth, and far from their core.

³ But You, LORD, know me. You have seen me and tried my heart toward You. Pull them out, like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.

⁴ How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of those who dwell in them? The beasts are consumed, and the birds, because they said, “He will not see our last end.”
