00:00.000 --> 00:01.220
Chapter 12.

00:02.580 --> 00:07.420
Righteous art thou, O Lord, when I plead
with thee, yet let me talk with thee of

00:07.420 --> 00:08.040
thy judgments.

00:09.020 --> 00:10.820
Wherefore doth the way of the wicked
prosper?

00:11.680 --> 00:14.780
Wherefore are all they happy that deal
very treacherously?

00:15.880 --> 00:19.940
Thou hast planted them, yea, they have
taken root, they grow, yea, they bring

00:19.940 --> 00:20.680
forth fruit.

00:21.240 --> 00:24.360
Thou art near in their mouth and far from
their reins.

00:25.160 --> 00:30.960
But thou, O Lord, knowest me, thou hast
seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee.

00:32.140 --> 00:35.540
Pull them out like sheep for the
slaughter, and prepare them for the day of

00:35.540 --> 00:35.920
slaughter.

00:36.800 --> 00:40.000
How long shall the land mourn,
and the herbs of every field wither,

00:40.580 --> 00:42.540
for the wickedness of them that dwell
therein?

00:42.980 --> 00:47.200
The beasts are consumed, and the birds,
because they said, He shall not see our

00:47.200 --> 00:47.820
last end.

00:48.820 --> 00:53.160
If thou hast run with the footmen,
and they have wearied thee, then how canst

00:53.160 --> 00:54.120
thou contend with horses?

00:54.900 --> 00:59.840
And if in the land of peace, wherein thou
trustest, they wearied thee, then how wilt

00:59.840 --> 01:01.380
thou do in the swelling of Jordan?

01:02.120 --> 01:05.820
For even thy brethren, and the house of
thy father, even they have dealt

01:05.820 --> 01:07.120
treacherously with thee.

01:07.760 --> 01:09.960
Yea, they have called a multitude after
thee.

01:10.720 --> 01:13.580
Believe them not, though they speak fair
words unto thee.

01:13.580 --> 01:15.960
I have forsaken mine house.

01:16.280 --> 01:17.580
I have left mine heritage.

01:18.240 --> 01:22.100
I have given the dearly beloved of my soul
into the hand of her enemies.

01:23.220 --> 01:25.400
Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the
forest.

01:25.760 --> 01:27.120
It crieth out against me.

01:28.060 --> 01:29.240
Therefore have I hated it.

01:29.960 --> 01:32.100
Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled
bird.

01:32.720 --> 01:34.840
The birds round about are against her.

01:35.340 --> 01:37.800
Come ye, assemble all the beasts of the
field.

01:37.900 --> 01:38.700
Come to devour.

01:39.980 --> 01:42.020
Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard.

01:42.280 --> 01:43.900
They have trodden my portion underfoot.

01:44.500 --> 01:46.940
They have made my pleasant portion a
desolate wilderness.

01:48.020 --> 01:51.160
They have made it desolate, and being
desolate it mourneth unto me.

01:51.800 --> 01:55.000
The whole land is made desolate,
because no man layeth it to heart.

01:55.860 --> 01:59.300
The spoilers are come upon all high places
through the wilderness.

02:00.400 --> 02:04.160
For the sword of the Lord shall devour
from the one end of the land, even to the

02:04.160 --> 02:05.140
other end of the land.

02:05.140 --> 02:07.200
No flesh shall have peace.

02:08.080 --> 02:11.500
They have sown wheat, but shall reap
thorns.

02:12.260 --> 02:14.960
They have put themselves to pain,
but shall not profit.

02:15.680 --> 02:18.980
And they shall be ashamed of your
revenues, because of the fierce anger of

02:18.980 --> 02:19.480
the Lord.

02:20.380 --> 02:24.020
Thus saith the Lord against all mine evil
neighbours, that touch the inheritance

02:24.020 --> 02:26.460
which I have caused my people Israel to
inherit.

02:27.080 --> 02:31.280
Behold, I will pluck them out of their
land, and pluck out the house of Judah

02:31.280 --> 02:31.980
from among them.

02:32.560 --> 02:36.440
And it shall come to pass, after that I
have plucked them out, I will return,

02:37.140 --> 02:40.800
and have compassion on them, and will
bring them again, every man to his

02:40.800 --> 02:43.360
heritage, and every man to his land.

02:44.060 --> 02:47.900
And it shall come to pass, if they will
diligently learn the ways of my people,

02:48.300 --> 02:53.840
to swear by my name, the Lord liveth,
as they taught my people to swear by Baal.

02:54.920 --> 02:57.360
Then shall they be built in the midst of
my people.

02:57.360 --> 03:03.140
But if they will not obey, I will utterly
pluck up and destroy that nation,

03:03.880 --> 03:04.680
saith the Lord.
