12:1 Righteous 6662 [art] thou, O LORD 3068, when I plead 73788799 with thee: yet let me talk 16968762 with thee of [thy] judgments 4941: Wherefore doth the way 1870 of the wicked 7563 prosper 67438804? [wherefore] are all they happy 79518804 that deal very 899 treacherously 8988802?(talk…: or, reason the case with thee)
12:2 Thou hast planted 51938804 them, yea, they have taken root 83278776: they grow 32128799, yea, they bring forth 62138804 fruit 6529: thou [art] near 7138 in their mouth 6310, and far from 7350 their reins 3629.(they grow: Heb. they go on)
12:3 But thou, O LORD 3068, knowest 30458804 me: thou hast seen 72008799 me, and tried 9748804 mine heart 3820 toward thee: pull them out 54238685 like sheep 6629 for the slaughter 2878, and prepare 69428685 them for the day 3117 of slaughter 2028.(toward…: Heb. with thee)
12:4 How long shall the land 776 mourn 568799, and the herbs 6212 of every field 7704 wither 30018799, for the wickedness 7451 of them that dwell 34278802 therein? the beasts 929 are consumed 55958804, and the birds 5775; because they said 5598804, He shall not see 72008799 our last end 319.
12:5 If thou hast run 73238804 with the footmen 7273, and they have wearied 38118686 thee, then how canst thou contend 84748807 with horses 5483? and [if] in the land 776 of peace 7965, [wherein] thou trustedst 9828802, [they wearied thee], then how wilt thou do 62138799 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 8988804 with thee; yea, they have called 71218804 a multitude 4392 after 310 thee: believe 5398686 them not, though they speak 16968762 fair words 2896 unto thee.(they have called…: or, they cried after thee fully)(fair…: Heb. good things)
12:7 I have forsaken 58008804 mine house 1004, I have left 52038804 mine heritage 5159; I have given 54148804 the dearly beloved 3033 of my soul 5315 into the hand 3709 of her enemies 3418802.(the dearly…: Heb. the love)
12:8 Mine heritage 5159 is unto me as a lion 738 in the forest 3293; it crieth out 541488046963 against me: therefore have I hated 81308804 it.(crieth…: or, yelleth: Heb. giveth out his voice)
12:9 Mine heritage 5159 [is] unto me [as] a speckled 6641 bird 5861, the birds 5861 round about 5439 [are] against her; come 32128798 ye, assemble 6228798 all the beasts 2416 of the field 7704, come 8578685 to devour 402.(speckled: or, taloned)(come to: or, cause them to come to)
12:10 Many 7227 pastors 74628802 have destroyed 78438765 my vineyard 3754, they have trodden 9470 my portion 2513 under foot 9478790, they have made 54148804 my pleasant 2532 portion 2513 a desolate 8077 wilderness 4057.(pleasant…: Heb. portion of desire)
12:11 They have made 77608804 it desolate 8076, [and being] desolate 8077 it mourneth 568804 unto me; the whole land 776 is made desolate 80748738, because no man 376 layeth 77608802 [it] to heart 3820.
12:12 The spoilers 77038802 are come 9358804 upon all high places 8205 through the wilderness 4057: for the sword 2719 of the LORD 3068 shall devour 3988802 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 22328804 wheat 2406, but shall reap 71148804 thorns 6975: they have put themselves to pain 24708738, [but] shall not profit 32768686: and they shall be ashamed 9548804 of your revenues 8393 because of the fierce 2740 anger 639 of the LORD 3068.(they shall: or, ye shall)
12:14 Thus saith 5598804 the LORD 3068 against all mine evil 7451 neighbours 7934, that touch 50608802 the inheritance 5159 which I have caused my people 5971 Israel 3478 to inherit 51578689; Behold, I will pluck them out 54288802 of their land 127, and pluck out 54288799 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 54288800 I will return 77258799, and have compassion 73558765 on them, and will bring them again 77258689, every man 376 to his heritage 5159, and every man 376 to his land 776.
