Jeremiah 12:1

And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.

When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:

Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

O LORD, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.

Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.

I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

The just LORD is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.

But, O LORD of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause.

Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.

For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.

O LORD God of Israel, thou art righteous: for we remain yet escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this.

For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD.

Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.

The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.

That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.
