Jeremiah 12:3-5

Tree of Life Version

³ But You have known me, Adonai.
    You see me, and examine my heart toward You.
    Drag them off like sheep for slaughter.
    Set them apart for the day of carnage.^[a]
4 How long will the land mourn
    and the grass of all the field wither?
    Because those living in it are evil,
        beasts and birds are swept away.
    For they said, “He cannot see our end.”
