Jeremiah 12:2-4

World English Bible

² You have planted them. Yes, they have taken root.
    They grow. Yes, they produce fruit.
You are near in their mouth,
    and far from their heart.
³ But you, Yahweh, know me.
    You see me, and test my heart toward you.
Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter,
    and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
⁴ How long will the land mourn,
    and the herbs of the whole country wither?
Because of the wickedness of those who dwell therein,
    the animals and birds are consumed;
because they said,
    “He won’t see our latter end.”
