Jeremiah 12

1 Righteous [art] Thou, O Jehovah, When I plead towards thee, Only, judgments do I speak with Thee, Wherefore did the way of the wicked prosper? At rest have been all treacherous dealers.

[are] righteous You O Yahweh if I bring a case to you nevertheless judgments I will speak with you why? [the] way of wicked [people] does it prosper are they at ease? all [those who] act treacherously of treachery.

2 Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root, They go on, yea, they have made fruit, Near [art] Thou in their mouth, And far off from their reins.

You have planted them also they have taken root they walk also they have produced fruit [are] near you in mouth their and distant from kidneys their.

3 And Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast known me, Thou seest me, and hast tried my heart with Thee, Draw them away as sheep to slaughter, And separate them for a day of slaughter.

And you O Yahweh you know me you see me and you test heart my with you drag away them like sheep to slaughter and set apart them to a day of slaughter.

4 Till when doth the earth mourn, And the herb of the whole field wither? For the wickedness of those dwelling in it, Consumed have been beast and fowl, Because they said, 'He doth not see our latter end.'

Until when? will it dry up the land and [the] vegetation of every field will it be dried up from [the] evil of [those who] dwell in it it has dwindled away animals and bird[s] for people have said not he will see end our.

5 For — with footmen thou hast run, And they weary thee, And how dost thou fret thyself with horses! Even in the land of peace, [In which] thou art confident — And how dost thou in the rising of Jordan!

If with foot soldiers - you have run and they have made weary you and how? will you compete with the horses and in a land of safety you [are] falling to [the] ground and how? will you do in [the] thicket of the Jordan.

6 For even thy brethren and the house of thy father, Even they dealt treacherously against thee, Even they — they called after thee fully, Trust not in them, when they speak to thee good things.

For also brothers your and [the] house of father your also they they have dealt treacherously with you also they they have called out after you full may not you trust in them for they speak to you good things.

7 I have forsaken My house, I have left Mine inheritance, I have given the beloved of My soul Into the hand of her enemies.

I have forsaken house my I have abandoned inheritance my I have given [the] beloved one of self my in [the] hand enemies her.

8 Mine inheritance hath been to Me as a lion in a forest, She gave forth against Me with her voice, Therefore I have hated her.

It has become to me inheritance my like a lion in the forest it has given on me with voice its there-fore I hate it.

9 A speckled fowl [is] Mine inheritance to Me? Is the fowl round about against her? Come, assemble, every beast of the field, Come ye for food.

¿ A bird of prey speckled [is] inheritance my to me that [are] bird[s] of prey? all around on it go gather every animal of the field bring [them] for food.

10 Many shepherds did destroy My vineyard, They have trodden down My portion, They have made My desirable portion Become a wilderness — a desolation.

Shepherds many they have ruined vineyard my they have trodden down portion my they have made [the] portion of desire my into a wilderness of desolation.

11 He hath made it become a desolation, The desolation hath mourned unto Me, Desolated hath been all the land, But there is no one laying it to heart.

He has made it into a desolation it is in mourning on me desolate it has been made desolate all the land for there not [is] anyone [who] puts [it] on heart.

12 On all high places in the plain have spoilers come in, For the sword of Jehovah is consuming, From the end of the land even unto the end of the land, There is no peace to any flesh.

Over all [the] bare heights in the wilderness they have come destroyers for a sword of Yahweh [is] devouring from an end of [the] land and to [the] end of the land not peace [belongs] to any flesh.

13 They sowed wheat, and have thorns reaped, They have become sick — they profit not, And they have been ashamed of your increases, Because of the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah.

People have sown wheat and thorns they have reaped they have wearied themselves not they have profited and be ashamed from produce your from [the] burning of [the] anger of Yahweh.

14 Thus said Jehovah concerning all my evil neighbours, who are striking against the inheritance that I caused my people — Israel — to inherit: 'Lo, I am plucking them from off their ground, And the house of Judah I pluck out of their midst.

Thus - he says Yahweh on all neighbors my evil who touch the inheritance which I gave as an inheritance people my Israel here I [am] about to pluck up them from on land their and [the] house of Judah I will pluck up from among them.

15 And it hath been, after My plucking them out, I turn back, and have pitied them, And I have brought them back, Each to his inheritance, and each to his land.

And it will be after have plucked up I them I will return and I will have compassion on them and I will bring back them everyone to own inheritance his and everyone to own land his.

16 And it hath come to pass, If they learn well the ways of My people, To swear by My name, 'Jehovah liveth,' As they taught My people to swear by Baal, Then they have been built up in the midst of My people.

And it will be certainly [if] they will learn [the] ways of people my to swear by name my [by] [the] life of Yahweh just as they taught people my to swear by Baal and they will be built in among people my.

17 And if they do not hearken, Then I have plucked up that nation, Plucking up and destroying, An affirmation of Jehovah!'

And if not they will listen and I will pluck up the nation that plucking up and destroying [the] utterance of Yahweh.
