Jeremiah 12:2

New International Version

²You have planted^(A) them, and they have taken root;
they grow and bear fruit.^(B)
You are always on their lips
but far from their hearts.^(C)

Jeremiah 12:2

King James Version

²Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins.

³⁵I have seen a wicked and ruthless man
flourishing^(A) like a luxuriant native tree,

³⁵I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

³⁶but he soon passed away and was no more;
though I looked for him, he could not be found.^(A)

³⁶Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

New International Version (NIV)
