Jeremiah’s Question
1 Righteous aare You, O Lord, when I plead with You;
Yet let me talk with You about Your judgments.
bWhy does the way of the wicked prosper?
Why are those happy who deal so treacherously?
Yet let me talk with You about Your judgments.
bWhy does the way of the wicked prosper?
Why are those happy who deal so treacherously?
2 You have planted them, yes, they have taken root;
They grow, yes, they bear fruit.
aYou are near in their mouth
But far from their1 mind.
They grow, yes, they bear fruit.
aYou are near in their mouth
But far from their1 mind.
3 But You, O Lord, aknow me;
You have seen me,
And You have btested my heart toward You.
Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter,
And prepare them for cthe day of slaughter.
You have seen me,
And You have btested my heart toward You.
Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter,
And prepare them for cthe day of slaughter.
