Capitolo 12
1
Pravedan si, Gospode, ako bih se pravdao s Tobom;
ali ću progovoriti o sudovima Tvojim.
Zašto je put bezbožnički srećan?
Zašto žive u miru svi koji čine neveru?
2
Ti ih posadi, i oni se ukoreniše,
rastu i rod rađaju;
Ti si im blizu usta
ali daleko od bubrega.
3
Ali Gospode, Ti me poznaješ, razgledaš me
i okušao si srce moje kako je prema Tebi;
odvuci ih kao ovce na klanje,
i pripravi ih za dan kad će se ubiti.
4
Dokle će tužiti zemlja, i trava svega polja sahnuti
sa zloće onih koji žive u njoj?
Nesta sve stoke i ptica,
jer govore: Ne vidi kraja našeg.
5
Kad si trčao s pešacima pa te umoriše,
kako ćeš se utrkivati s konjima?
I kad ti je tako u zemlji mirnoj, u koju se uzdaš,
šta ćeš činiti kad ustane Jordan?
6
Jer i braća tvoja i dom oca tvog, i oni te izneveriše
i oni viču za tobom glasno.
Ne veruj im,
ako bi ti i prijateljski govorili.
7
Ostavih dom svoj,
napustih nasledstvo svoje;
što beše milo duši mojoj,
dadoh ga u ruke neprijateljima njegovim.
8
Nasledstvo moje posta mi kao lav u šumi,
pušta glas svoj na mene,
zato mi omrznu.
9
Nasledstvo moje posta mi ptica grabljiva;
ptice, sletite se na nju,
skupite se svi zverovi poljski,
hodite da jedete.
10
Pastiri mnogi pokvariće moj vinograd,
potlačiće deo moj,
mili deo moj obratiće u golu pustoš.
11
Obratiće ga u pustoš,
opustošen plakaće preda mnom;
sva će ta zemlja opusteti,
jer niko ne uzima na um.
12
Na sva visoka mesta po pustinji doći će zatirači;
jer će mač Gospodnji proždirati
od jednog kraja zemlje do drugog,
neće biti mira ni jednom telu.
13
Sejaće pšenicu, a trnje će žeti;
mučiće se, a koristi neće imati,
i stideće se letine svoje,
sa žestokog gneva Gospodnjeg.
14
Ovako govori Gospod za sve zle susede moje, koji diraju nasledstvo što dadoh narodu svom Izrailju: evo, ja ću ih počupati iz zemlje njihove, i dom Judin iščupaću isred njih.
15
A kad ih iščupam, opet ću se smilovati na njih, i dovešću opet svakog njih na nasledstvo njegovo i svakog u zemlju njegovu.
16
I ako dobro nauče puteve naroda mog, da se zaklinju mojim imenom: Tako da je živ Gospod! Kao što su oni učili moj narod da se kune Valom, tada će se sazidati usred naroda mog.
17
Ako li ne poslušaju, tada ću iščupati sasvim takav narod i zatrti, govori Gospod.
Jeremiah
Capitolo 12
1
Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?
2
Thou 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.
3
But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
4
How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end.
5
¶ If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
6
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.
7
¶ I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
8
Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it.
9
Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.
10
Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
11
They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.
12
The spoilers are come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of the LORD shall devour from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh shall have peace.
13
They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
14
¶ Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.
15
And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
16
And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people.
17
But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD.
