Jeremiah 12:1

Righteous are you, O Lord , when I complain to you; yet I would plead my case before you. Why does the way of the wicked prosper ? Why do all who are treacherous thrive ?

You are always righteous, Lord, when I bring a case before you. Yet I would speak with you about your justice: Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all the faithless live at ease?

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?
