1 # Righteous <06662> art thou, O LORD <03068>, when I plead <07378> (8799) with thee: yet let me talk <01696> (8762) with thee of thy judgments <04941>: Wherefore doth the way <01870> of the wicked <07563> prosper <06743> (8804) ? wherefore are all they happy <07951> (8804) that deal very <0899> treacherously <0898> (8802)?
2 Thou hast planted <05193> (8804) them, yea, they have taken root <08327> (8776): they grow <03212> (8799) , yea, they bring forth <06213> (8804) fruit <06529>: thou art near <07138> in their mouth <06310>, and far from <07350> their reins <03629>.
3 But thou, O LORD <03068>, knowest <03045> (8804) me: thou hast seen <07200> (8799) me, and tried <0974> (8804) mine heart <03820> toward thee: pull them out <05423> (8685) like sheep <06629> for the slaughter <02878>, and prepare <06942> (8685) them for the day <03117> of slaughter <02028>.
4 How long shall the land <0776> mourn <056> (8799), and the herbs <06212> of every field <07704> wither <03001> (8799), for the wickedness <07451> of them that dwell <03427> (8802) therein? the beasts <0929> are consumed <05595> (8804), and the birds <05775>; because they said <0559> (8804), He shall not see <07200> (8799) our last end <0319> .
5 If thou hast run <07323> (8804) with the footmen <07273>, and they have wearied <03811> (8686) thee, then how canst thou contend <08474> (8807) with horses <05483>? and if in the land <0776> of peace <07965>, wherein thou trustedst <0982> (8802), they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do <06213> (8799) in the swelling <01347> of Jordan <03383>?
6 For even thy brethren <0251>, and the house <01004> of thy father <01>, even they have dealt treacherously <0898> (8804) with thee; yea, they have called <07121> (8804) a multitude <04392> after <0310> thee: believe <0539> (8686) them not, though they speak <01696> (8762) fair words <02896> unto thee.
7 # I have forsaken <05800> (8804) mine house <01004>, I have left <05203> (8804) mine heritage <05159> ; I have given <05414> (8804) the dearly beloved <03033> of my soul <05315> into the hand <03709> of her enemies <0341> (8802).
8 Mine heritage <05159> is unto me as a lion <0738> in the forest <03293>; it crieth out <05414> (8804) <06963> against me: therefore have I hated <08130> (8804) it.
9 Mine heritage <05159> is unto me as a speckled <06641> bird <05861>, the birds <05861> round about <05439> are against her; come <03212> (8798) ye, assemble <0622> (8798) all the beasts <02416> of the field <07704> , come <0857> (8685) to devour <0402>.
10 Many <07227> pastors <07462> (8802) have destroyed <07843> (8765) my vineyard <03754>, they have trodden <0947> <00> my portion <02513> under foot <0947> (8790), they have made <05414> (8804) my pleasant <02532> portion <02513> a desolate <08077> wilderness <04057>.

11 They have made <07760> (8804) it desolate <08076>, and being desolate <08077> it mourneth <056> (8804) unto me; the whole land <0776> is made desolate <08074> (8738), because no man <0376> layeth <07760> (8802) it to heart <03820>.
12 The spoilers <07703> (8802) are come <0935> (8804) upon all high places <08205> through the wilderness <04057>: for the sword <02719> of the LORD <03068> shall devour <0398> (8802) from the one end <07097> of the land <0776> even to the other end <07097> of the land <0776>: no flesh <01320> shall have peace <07965>.
13 They have sown <02232> (8804) wheat <02406>, but shall reap <07114> (8804) thorns <06975>: they have put themselves to pain <02470> (8738), but shall not profit <03276> (8686): and they shall be ashamed <0954> (8804) of your revenues <08393> because of the fierce <02740> anger <0639> of the LORD <03068>.
14 # Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> against all mine evil <07451> neighbours <07934>, that touch <05060> (8802) the inheritance <05159> which I have caused my people <05971> Israel <03478> to inherit <05157> (8689); Behold, I will pluck them out <05428> (8802) of their land <0127>, and pluck out <05428> (8799) the house <01004> of Judah <03063> from among <08432> them.
15 And it shall come to pass, after <0310> that I have plucked them out <05428> (8800) I will return <07725> (8799) , and have compassion <07355> (8765) on them, and will bring them again <07725> (8689), every man <0376> to his heritage <05159> , and every man <0376> to his land <0776>.
16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently <03925> (8800) learn <03925> (8799) the ways <01870> of my people <05971>, to swear <07650> (8736) by my name <08034>, The LORD <03068> liveth <02416>; as they taught <03925> (8765) my people <05971> to swear <07650> (8736) by Baal <01168>; then shall they be built <01129> (8738) in the midst <08432> of my people <05971>.
17 But if they will not obey <08085> (8799), I will utterly <05428> (8800) pluck up <05428> (8804) and destroy <06> (8763) that nation <01471>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
