Jeremiah 12

KJV

1  Righteous⁶⁶⁶² art thou,⁸⁵⁹ O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ when³⁵⁸⁸ I plead⁷³⁷⁸ with⁴¹³ thee: yet³⁸⁹ let me talk¹⁶⁹⁶ with⁸⁵⁴ thee of thy judgments:⁴⁹⁴¹ Wherefore⁴⁰⁶⁹ doth the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the wicked⁷⁵⁶³ prosper?⁶⁷⁴³ wherefore are all³⁶⁰⁵ they happy⁷⁹⁵¹ that deal very treacherously?^{898 899}

2  Thou hast planted⁵¹⁹³ them, yea,¹⁵⁷¹ they have taken root:⁸³²⁷ they grow,¹⁹⁸⁰ yea,¹⁵⁷¹ they bring forth⁶²¹³ fruit:⁶⁵²⁹ thou⁸⁵⁹ art near⁷¹³⁸ in their mouth,⁶³¹⁰ and far⁷³⁵⁰ from their reins.^{4480 3629}

3  But thou,⁸⁵⁹ O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ knowest³⁰⁴⁵ me: thou hast seen⁷²⁰⁰ me, and tried⁹⁷⁴ mine heart³⁸²⁰ toward⁸⁵⁴ thee: pull them out⁵⁴²³ like sheep⁶⁶²⁹ for the slaughter,²⁸⁷⁸ and prepare⁶⁹⁴² them for the day³¹¹⁷ of slaughter.²⁰²⁸

4  How long^{5704 4970} shall the land⁷⁷⁶ mourn,⁵⁶ and the herbs⁶²¹² of every³⁶⁰⁵ field⁷⁷⁰⁴ wither,³⁰⁰¹ for the wickedness^{4480 7451} of them that dwell³⁴²⁷ therein? the beasts⁹²⁹ are consumed,⁵⁵⁹⁵ and the birds;⁵⁷⁷⁵ because³⁵⁸⁸ they said,⁵⁵⁹ He shall not³⁸⁰⁸ see^{7200 853} our last end.³¹⁹

5  If³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast run⁷³²³ with⁸⁵⁴ the footmen,⁷²⁷³ and they have wearied³⁸¹¹ thee, then how³⁴⁹ canst thou contend⁸⁴⁷⁴ with⁸⁵⁴ horses?⁵⁴⁸³ and if in the land⁷⁷⁶ of peace,⁷⁹⁶⁵ wherein thou⁸⁵⁹ trustedst,⁹⁸² they wearied thee, then how³⁴⁹ wilt thou do⁶²¹³ in the swelling¹³⁴⁷ of Jordan?³³⁸³

6  For³⁵⁸⁸ even¹⁵⁷¹ thy brethren,²⁵¹ and the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of thy father,¹ even¹⁵⁷¹ they¹⁹⁹² have dealt treacherously⁸⁹⁸ with thee; yea,¹⁵⁷¹ they¹⁹⁹² have called⁷¹²¹ a multitude⁴³⁹² after³¹⁰ thee: believe⁵³⁹ them not,⁴⁰⁸ though³⁵⁸⁸ they speak¹⁶⁹⁶ fair words²⁸⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ thee.

7  I have forsaken^{5800 853} mine house,¹⁰⁰⁴ I have left^{5203 853} mine heritage;⁵¹⁵⁹ I have given^{5414 853} the dearly beloved³⁰³⁹ of my soul⁵³¹⁵ into the hand³⁷⁰⁹ of her enemies.³⁴¹

8  Mine heritage⁵¹⁵⁹ is¹⁹⁶¹ unto me as a lion⁷³⁸ in the forest;³²⁹³ it crieth out^{5414 6963} against⁵⁹²¹ me: therefore^{5921 3651} have I hated⁸¹³⁰ it.

9  Mine heritage⁵¹⁵⁹ is unto me as a speckled⁶⁶⁴¹ bird,⁵⁸⁶¹ the birds⁵⁸⁶¹ round about⁵⁴³⁹ are against⁵⁹²¹ her; come¹⁹⁸⁰ ye, assemble⁶²² all³⁶⁰⁵ the beasts²⁴¹⁶ of the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ come⁸⁵⁷ to devour.⁴⁰²

10  Many⁷²²⁷ pastors⁷⁴⁶² have destroyed⁷⁸⁴³ my vineyard,³⁷⁵⁴ they have trodden my portion under foot,^{947 853 2513} they have made^{5414 853} my pleasant²⁵³² portion²⁵¹³ a desolate⁸⁰⁷⁷ wilderness.⁴⁰⁵⁷

11  They have made⁷⁷⁶⁰ it desolate,⁸⁰⁷⁷ and being desolate⁸⁰⁷⁶ it mourneth⁵⁶ unto⁵⁹²¹ me; the whole³⁶⁰⁵ land⁷⁷⁶ is made⁶²¹³ desolate,⁸⁰⁷⁴ because³⁵⁸⁸ no³⁶⁹ man³⁷⁶ layeth⁷⁷⁶⁰ it to⁵⁹²¹ heart.³⁸²⁰

12  The spoilers⁷⁷⁰³ are come⁹³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ high places⁸²⁰⁵ through the wilderness:⁴⁰⁵⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ the sword²⁷¹⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall devour³⁹⁸ from the one end^{4480 7097} of the land⁷⁷⁶ even to⁵⁷⁰⁴ the other end⁷⁰⁹⁷ of the land:⁷⁷⁶ no^{369 3605} flesh¹³²⁰ shall have peace.⁷⁹⁶⁵

13  They have sown²²³² wheat,²⁴⁰⁶ but shall reap⁷¹¹⁴ thorns:⁶⁹⁷⁵ they have put themselves to pain,²⁴⁷⁰ but shall not³⁸⁰⁸ profit:³²⁷⁶ and they shall be ashamed⁹⁵⁴ of your revenues^{4480 8393} because of the fierce^{4480 2740} anger⁶³⁹ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

14  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ against⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ mine evil⁷⁴⁵¹ neighbors,⁷⁹³⁴ that touch⁵⁰⁶⁰ the inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ which⁸³⁴ I have caused ⁸⁵³ my people^{5971 853} Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to inherit;⁵¹⁵⁷ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will pluck them out⁵⁴²⁸ of^{4480 5921} their land,¹²⁷ and pluck out⁵⁴²⁸ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah³⁰⁶³ from among^{4480 8432} them.

15  And it shall come to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ after that³¹⁰ I have plucked them out^{5428 853} I will return,⁷⁷²⁵ and have compassion⁷³⁵⁵ on them, and will bring them again,⁷⁷²⁵ every man³⁷⁶ to his heritage,⁵¹⁵⁹ and every man³⁷⁶ to his land.⁷⁷⁶

16  And it shall come to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ if⁵¹⁸ they will diligently learn^{3925 3925 853} the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ to swear⁷⁶⁵⁰ by my name,⁸⁰³⁴ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ liveth;²⁴¹⁶ as⁸³⁴ they taught^{3925 853} my people⁵⁹⁷¹ to swear⁷⁶⁵⁰ by Baal;¹¹⁶⁸ then shall they be built¹¹²⁹ in the midst⁸⁴³² of my people.⁵⁹⁷¹

17  But if⁵¹⁸ they will not³⁸⁰⁸ obey,⁸⁰⁸⁵ I will utterly pluck up^{5428 5428} and destroy^{6 853} that¹⁹³¹ nation,¹⁴⁷¹ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

1 δίκαιος εἶ κύριε ὅτι ἀπολογήσομαι πρὸς σέ πλὴν κρίματα λαλήσω πρὸς σέ τί ὅτι ὁδὸς ἀσεβῶν εὐοδοῦται εὐθήνησαν πάντες οἱ ἀθετοῦντες ἀθετήματα

2 ἐφύτευσας αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐρριζώθησαν ἐτεκνοποίησαν καὶ ἐποίησαν καρπόν ἐγγὺς εἶ σὺ τοῦ στόματος αὐτῶν καὶ πόρρω ἀπὸ τῶν νεφρῶν αὐτῶν

3 καὶ σύ κύριε γινώσκεις με δεδοκίμακας τὴν καρδίαν μου ἐναντίον σου ἅγνισον αὐτοὺς εἰς ἡμέραν σφαγῆς αὐτῶν

4 ἕως πότε πενθήσει ἡ γῆ καὶ πᾶς ὁ χόρτος τοῦ ἀγροῦ ξηρανθήσεται ἀπὸ κακίας τῶν κατοικούντων ἐν αὐτῇ ἠφανίσθησαν κτήνη καὶ πετεινά ὅτι εἶπαν οὐκ ὄψεται ὁ θεὸς ὁδοὺς ἡμῶν

5 σοῦ οἱ πόδες τρέχουσιν καὶ ἐκλύουσίν σε πῶς παρασκευάσῃ ἐφ᾽ ἵπποις καὶ ἐν γῇ εἰρήνης σὺ πέποιθας πῶς ποιήσεις ἐν φρυάγματι τοῦ Ιορδάνου

6 ὅτι καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί σου καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρός σου καὶ οὗτοι ἠθέτησάν σε καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐβόησαν ἐκ τῶν ὀπίσω σου ἐπισυνήχθησαν μὴ πιστεύσῃς ἐν αὐτοῖς ὅτι λαλήσουσιν πρὸς σὲ καλά

7 ἐγκαταλέλοιπα τὸν οἶκόν μου ἀφῆκα τὴν κληρονομίαν μου ἔδωκα τὴν ἠγαπημένην ψυχήν μου εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθρῶν αὐτῆς

8 ἐγενήθη ἡ κληρονομία μου ἐμοὶ ὡς λέων ἐν δρυμῷ ἔδωκεν ἐπ᾽ ἐμὲ τὴν φωνὴν αὐτῆς διὰ τοῦτο ἐμίσησα αὐτήν

9 μὴ σπήλαιον ὑαίνης ἡ κληρονομία μου ἐμοὶ ἢ σπήλαιον κύκλῳ αὐτῆς βαδίσατε συναγάγετε πάντα τὰ θηρία τοῦ ἀγροῦ καὶ ἐλθέτωσαν τοῦ φαγεῖν αὐτήν

10 ποιμένες πολλοὶ διέφθειραν τὸν ἀμπελῶνά μου ἐμόλυναν τὴν μερίδα μου ἔδωκαν μερίδα ἐπιθυμητήν μου εἰς ἔρημον ἄβατον

11 ἐτέθη εἰς ἀφανισμὸν ἀπωλείας δι᾽ ἐμὲ ἀφανισμῷ ἠφανίσθη πᾶσα ἡ γῆ ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀνὴρ τιθέμενος ἐν καρδίᾳ

12 ἐπὶ πᾶσαν διεκβολὴν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἦλθον ταλαιπωροῦντες ὅτι μάχαιρα τοῦ κυρίου καταφάγεται ἀπ᾽ ἄκρου τῆς γῆς ἕως ἄκρου τῆς γῆς οὐκ ἔστιν εἰρήνη πάσῃ σαρκί

13 σπείρατε πυροὺς καὶ ἀκάνθας θερίσατε οἱ κλῆροι αὐτῶν οὐκ ὠφελήσουσιν αὐτούς αἰσχύνθητε ἀπὸ καυχήσεως ὑμῶν ἀπὸ ὀνειδισμοῦ ἔναντι κυρίου

14 ὅτι τάδε λέγει κύριος περὶ πάντων τῶν γειτόνων τῶν πονηρῶν τῶν ἁπτομένων τῆς κληρονομίας μου ἧς ἐμέρισα τῷ λαῷ μου Ισραηλ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποσπῶ αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς αὐτῶν καὶ τὸν Ιουδαν ἐκβαλῶ ἐκ μέσου αὐτῶν

15 καὶ ἔσται μετὰ τὸ ἐκβαλεῖν με αὐτοὺς ἐπιστρέψω καὶ ἐλεήσω αὐτοὺς καὶ κατοικιῶ αὐτοὺς ἕκαστον εἰς τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἕκαστον εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ

16 καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν μαθόντες μάθωσιν τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ λαοῦ μου τοῦ ὀμνύειν τῷ ὀνόματί μου ζῇ κύριος καθὼς ἐδίδαξαν τὸν λαόν μου ὀμνύειν τῇ Βααλ καὶ οἰκοδομηθήσονται ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ λαοῦ μου

17 ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ἐπιστρέψωσιν καὶ ἐξαρῶ τὸ ἔθνος ἐκεῖνο ἐξάρσει καὶ ἀπωλείᾳ

Vul

1 [Justus quidem tu es, Domine, si disputem tecum:
verumtamen justa loquar ad te:
Quare via impiorum prosperatur;
bene est omnibus qui prævaricantur et inique agunt?

2 Plantasti eos, et radicem miserunt:
proficiunt, et faciunt fructum:
prope es tu ori eorum,
et longe a renibus eorum.

3 Et tu, Domine, nosti me, vidisti me,
et probasti cor meum tecum.
Congrega eos quasi gregem ad victimam,
et sanctifica eos in die occisionis.

4 Usquequo lugebit terra,
et herba omnis regionis siccabitur,
propter malitiam habitantium in ea?
Consumptum est animal, et volucre,
quoniam dixerunt: Non videbit novissima nostra.

5 Si cum peditibus currens laborasti,
quomodo contendere poteris cum equis?
cum autem in terra pacis securus fueris,
quid facies in superbia Jordanis?

6 Nam et fratres tui, et domus patris tui,
etiam ipsi pugnaverunt adversum te,
et clamaverunt post te plena voce:
ne credas eis,
cum locuti fuerint tibi bona.]

7 [Reliqui domum meam;
dimisi hæreditatem meam:
dedi dilectam animam meam in manu inimicorum ejus.

8 Facta est mihi hæreditas mea quasi leo in silva:
dedit contra me vocem, ideo odivi eam.

9 Numquid avis discolor hæreditas mea mihi?
numquid avis tincta per totum?
Venite, congregamini, omnes bestiæ terræ:
properate ad devorandum.

10 Pastores multi demoliti sunt vineam meam,
conculcaverunt partem meam,
dederunt portionem meam desiderabilem in desertum solitudinis.

11 Posuerunt eam in dissipationem,
luxitque super me:
desolatione desolata est omnis terra,
quia nullus est qui recogitet corde.

12 Super omnes vias deserti venerunt vastatores,
quia gladius Domini devorabit:
ab extremo terræ usque ad extremum ejus,
non est pax universæ carni.

13 Seminaverunt triticum,
et spinas messuerunt:
hæreditatem acceperunt,
et non eis proderit.
Confundemini a fructibus vestris
propter iram furoris Domini.

14 Hæc dicit Dominus adversum omnes vicinos meos pessimos,
qui tangunt hæreditatem quam distribui populo meo Israël:
Ecce ego evellam eos de terra sua,
et domum Juda evellam de medio eorum.

15 Et cum evulsero eos, convertar,
et miserebor eorum, et reducam eos:
virum ad hæreditatem suam,
et virum in terram suam.

16 Et erit: si eruditi didicerint vias populi mei,
ut jurent in nomine meo: Vivit Dominus!
sicut docuerunt populum meum jurare in Baal,
ædificabuntur in medio populi mei.

17 Quod si non audierint,
evellam gentem illam evulsione et perditione, ait Dominus.]
