Jeremiah 12:3 in Context — Jeremiah 12
1 JUSTO eres tú, oh Jehová, aunque yo contigo dispute: hablaré empero juicios contigo. ¿Por qué es prosperado el camino de los impíos, [y] tienen bien todos los que se portan deslealmente?
2 Plantástelos, y echaron raíces; progresaron, é hicieron fruto; cercano estás tú en sus bocas, mas lejos de sus riñones.
3 Tú empero, oh Jehová, me conoces; vísteme, y probaste mi corazón para contigo: arráncalos como á ovejas para el degolladero, y señálalos para el día de la matanza.
4 ¿Hasta cuándo estará desierta la tierra, y marchita la hierba de todo el campo? Por la maldad de los que en ella moran, faltaron los ganados, y las aves; porque dijeron: No verá él nuestras postrimerías.
5 Si corriste con los de á pie, y te cansaron, ¿cómo contenderás con los caballos? Y [si] en la tierra de paz estabas quieto, ¿cómo harás en la hinchazón del Jordán?
