V.1 Righteous 6662 [art] thou, O LORD, 3068 when I plead 7378-4 with thee: yet let me talk 1696-17 with thee of [thy] judgments: 4941 Wherefore doth the way 1870 of the wicked 7563 prosper? 6743-1 [wherefore] are all they happy 7951-1 that deal very 899 treacherously? 898-6

12:2 Thou hast planted 5193-1 them, yea, they have taken root: 8327-19 they grow, 3212-4 yea, they bring forth 6213-1 fruit: 6529 thou [art] near 7138 in their mouth, 6310 and far 7350 from their reins. 3629

12:3 But thou, O LORD, 3068 knowest 3045-1 me: thou hast seen 7200-4 me, and tried 974-1 mine heart 3820 toward thee: pull them out 5423-54 like sheep 6629 for the slaughter, 2878 and prepare 6942-54 them for the day 3117 of slaughter. 2028

12:4 How long shall the land 776 mourn, 56-4 and the herbs 6212 of every field 7704 wither, 3001-4 for the wickedness 7451 of them that dwell 3427-6 therein? the beasts 929 are consumed, 5595-1 and the birds; 5775 because they said, 559-1 He shall not see 7200-4 our last end. 319

12:5 If thou hast run 7323-1 with the footmen, 7273 and they have wearied 3811-55 thee, then how canst thou contend 8474- 96 with horses? 5483 and [if] in the land 776 of peace, 7965 [wherein] thou trustedst, 982-6 [they wearied thee], then how wilt thou do 6213-4 in the swelling 1347 of Jordan? 3383

12:6 For even thy brethren, 251 and the house 1004 of thy father, 1 even they have dealt treacherously 898-1 with thee; yea, they have called 7121-1 a multitude 4392 after 310 thee: believe 539-55 them not, though they speak 1696-17 fair words 2896 unto thee.

12:7 I have forsaken 5800-1 mine house, 1004 I have left 5203-1 mine heritage; 5159 I have given 5414-1 the dearly beloved 3033 of my soul 5315 into the hand 3709 of her enemies. 341-6

12:8 Mine heritage 5159 is unto me as a lion 738 in the forest; 3293 it crieth 5414-1 out 6963 against me: therefore have I hated 8130-1 it.

12:9 Mine heritage 5159 [is] unto me [as] a speckled 6641 bird, 5861 the birds 5861 round about 5439 [are] against her; come 3212-3 ye, assemble 622-3 all the beasts 2416 of the field, 7704 come 857-54 to devour. 402

12:10 Many 7227 pastors 7462-6 have destroyed 7843-14 my vineyard, 3754 they have trodden my portion 2513 under foot, 947-31 they have made 5414-1 my pleasant 2532 portion 2513 a desolate 8077 wilderness. 4057

12:11 They have made 7760-1 it desolate, 8077 [and being] desolate 8076 it mourneth 56-1 unto me; the whole land 776 is made desolate, 8074-8 because no man 376 layeth 7760-6 [it] to heart. 3820

12:12 The spoilers 7703-6 are come 935-1 upon all high places 8205 through the wilderness: 4057 for the sword 2719 of the LORD 3068 shall devour 398-6 from the [one] end 7097 of the land 776 even to the [other] end 7097 of the land: 776 no flesh 1320 shall have peace. 7965

12:13 They have sown 2232-1 wheat, 2406 but shall reap 7114-1 thorns: 6975 they have put themselves to pain, 2470-8 [but] shall not profit: 3276-55 and they shall be ashamed 954-1 of your revenues 8393 because of the fierce 2740 anger 639 of the LORD. 3068

12:14 Thus saith 559-1 the LORD 3068 against all mine evil 7451 neighbours, 7934 that touch 5060-6 the inheritance 5159 which I have caused my people 5971 Israel 3478 to inherit; 5157-52 Behold, I will pluck 5428-6 them out of their land, 127 and pluck out 5428-4 the house 1004 of Judah 3063 from among 8432 them.

12:15 And it shall come to pass, after 310 that I have plucked them out 5428-2 I will return, 7725-4 and have compassion 7355-14 on them, and will bring them again, 7725- 52 every man 376 to his heritage, 5159 and every man 376 to his land. 776

12:16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently 3925-2 learn 3925-4 the ways 1870 of my people, 5971 to swear 7650-9 by my name, 8034 The LORD 3068 liveth; 2416 as they taught 3925-14 my people 5971 to swear 7650-9 by Baal; 1168 then shall they be built 1129-8 in the midst 8432 of my people. 5971
