Jeremiah 12:1-3 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. Whenever I complainto you, Lord,you are always fair.But now I have questionsabout your justice.Why is life easy for sinners?Why are they successful?

2. You plant them like trees;you let them prosperand produce fruit.Yet even when they praise you,they don't mean it.

3. But you know, Lord,how faithful I've always been,even in my thoughts.So drag my enemies awayand butcher them like sheep!
