Jeremiah 12:1-2

Names of God Bible

12 O Yahweh, even if I would argue my case with you,
    you would always be right.
        Yet, I want to talk to you about your justice.
            Why do wicked people succeed?
            Why do treacherous people have peace and quiet?
² You plant them, and they take root.
    They grow, and they produce fruit.
        They speak well of you with their lips,
    but their hearts are far from you.
