Jeremiah 12:3-5

New King James Version

³ But You, O Lord, ^(A)know me;
You have seen me,
And You have ^(B)tested my heart toward You.
Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter,
And prepare them for ^(C)the day of slaughter.
⁴ How long will ^(D)the land mourn,
And the herbs of every field wither?
^(E)The beasts and birds are consumed,
^(F)For the wickedness of those who dwell there,
Because they said, “He will not see our final end.”
