Jeremiah 12:1 in Context — Jeremiah 12
1 Justo és tu, SENHOR, mesmo quando eu discuto contigo; falarei, porém, de juízos contigo. Por que o caminho dos perversos prospera, e todos os que agem enganosamente têm boa vida?
2 Tu os plantaste, e firmaram raízes; eles progridem, e dão fruto; tu estás perto de suas bocas, porém longe de seus sentimentos.
3 Mas tu, SENHOR, me conheces; tu me vês, e provas o meu coração para contigo. Arranca-os como a ovelhas para o matadouro, e reserva-os para o dia da matança.
