Jeremiah 12:4-8

12:4

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>_.

12:5

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>_?

12:6

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. {they have called...: or, they cried after thee fully} {fair...: Heb. good things}

12:7

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)_.

{the dearly...: Heb. the love}

12:8

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. {crieth...: or, yelleth: Heb. giveth out his voice}
