J E R E M I A H. CHAP. XII. In this chapter we have, I. The prophet's humble complaint to God of the success that wicked people had in their wicked practices ( Jeremiah 12:1 ; Jeremiah 12:2 ) and his appeal to God concerning his own integrity ( Jeremiah 12:3 ), with a prayer that God would, for the sake of the public, bring the wickedness of the wicked to an end, Jeremiah 12:3 ; Jeremiah 12:4 . II. God's rebuke to the prophet for his uneasiness at his present troubles, bidding him prepare for greater, Jeremiah 12:5 ; Jeremiah 12:6 . III. A sad lamentation of the present deplorable state of the Israel of God, Jeremiah 12:7-13 . IV. An intimation of mercy to God's people, in a denunciation of wrath against their neighbours that helped forward their affliction, that they should be plucked out; but with a promise that if they would at last join themselves with the people of God they should come in sharers with them in their privileges, Jeremiah 12:14-17 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-6" class="com-number"
