12:1 Righteous
art
thou,
O
Lord,
when
I
pleade
with
thee:
yet
let
mee
talke
with
thee
of
thy
iudgements:
Wherefore
doeth
the
way
of
the
wicked
prosper
Wherefore
are
all
they
happie
that
deale
very
treacherously
12:2 Thou
hast
planted
them,
yea
they
haue
taken
root:
they
grow,
yea
they
bring
foorth
fruit,
thou
art
neere
in
their
mouth,
and
farre
from
their
reines.
12:3 But
thou,
O
Lord,
knowest
me;
thou
hast
seene
me,
and
tried
mine
heart
towards
thee:
pull
them
out
like
sheep
for
the
slaughter,
and
prepare
them
for
the
day
of
slaughter.
12:4 How
long
shall
the
land
mourne,
and
the
herbes
of
euery
field
wither,
for
the
wickednesse
of
them
that
dwell
therein
The
beasts
are
consumed,
and
the
birds,
because
they
said;
He
shall
not
see
our
last
end.
12:5 If
thou
hast
runne
with
the
footmen,
and
they
haue
wearied
thee,
then
how
canst
thou
contend
with
horses
And
if
in
the
land
of
peace,
wherein
thou
trustedst,
they
wearied
thee,
then
how
wilt
thou
doe
in
the
swelling
of
Iordan
12:6 For
euen
thy
brethren
and
the
house
of
thy
father,
euen
they
haue
dealt
treacherously
with
thee,
yea
they
haue
called
a
multitude
after
thee;
beleeue
them
not,
though
they
speake
faire
words
vnto
thee.
12:7 I
haue
forsaken
mine
house:
I
haue
left
mine
heritage:
I
haue
giuen
the
dearely
beloued
of
my
soule
into
the
hand
of
her
enemies.
12:8 Mine
heritage
is
vnto
me
as
a
lyon
in
the
forrest:
it
cryeth
out
against
me,
therefore
haue
I
hated
it.
12:9 Mine
heritage
is
vnto
mee
as
a
speckled
bird,
the
birdes
round
about
are
against
her;
come
yee,
assemble
all
the
beasts
of
the
field,
come
to
deuoure.
12:10 Many
pastors
haue
destroyed
my
vineyard;
they
haue
troden
my
portion
vnder
foote:
they
haue
made
my
pleasant
portion
a
desolate
wildernesse.
12:11 They
haue
made
it
desolate,
and
being
desolate
it
mourneth
vnto
me;
the
whole
land
is
made
desolate,
because
no
man
layeth
it
to
heart.
12:12 The
spoilers
are
come
vpon
all
high
places
through
the
wildernesse:
for
the
sword
of
the
Lord
shall
deuoure
from
the
one
end
of
the
land
euen
to
the
other
end
of
the
land:
no
flesh
shall
haue
peace.
12:13 They
haue
sowen
wheate,
but
shall
reape
thornes:
they
haue
put
themselues
to
paine,
but
shall
not
profit:
and
they
shall
be
ashamed
of
your
reuenues,
because
of
the
fierce
anger
of
the
Lord.
12:14 Thus
saith
the
Lord
against
all
mine
euill
neighbours,
that
touch
the
inheritance,
which
I
haue
caused
my
people
Israel
to
inherit;
Behold,
I
will
plucke
them
out
of
their
land,
and
plucke
out
the
house
of
Iudah
from
among
them.
12:15 And
it
shall
come
to
passe
after
that
I
haue
plucked
them
out,
I
will
returne,
and
haue
compassion
on
them,
and
will
bring
againe
euery
man
to
his
heritage,
and
euery
man
to
his
land.
12:16 And
it
shall
come
to
passe,
if
they
will
diligently
learne
the
wayes
of
my
people
to
sweare
by
my
name
(The
Lord
liueth,
as
they
taught
my
people
to
sweare
by
Baal:)
then
shall
they
be
built
in
the
middest
of
my
people.
12:17 But
if
they
will
not
obey,
I
will
vtterly
plucke
vp,
and
destroy
that
nation,
saith
the
Lord.
