This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

Yirmeyah queries Yahweh

Jer 12:1–6

12 Yahweh, you do what’s right when I bring you a case.

→ Nevertheless, I want to talk with you about justice:

Why do wicked people prosper?

≈ Why are treacherous people able to relax?

2 You planted them like trees and they’ve taken root,

then they’ve grown and produced fruit.

They’re full of talk about you,

but they’re really far from you.

3 but Yahweh, you know me.

≈ You see me, and test my heart toward you.

Drag them away like sheep doing to slaughter,

≈ and reserve a time for them to be slaughtered.

4 How much longer will the land be dry for

with the plants in the countryside withering up?

Even the wild animals and birds have diminished in number,

because people have said that he won’t see what will happen to us.

Yahweh’s response to Yirmeyah

5 If you’ve run with foot soldiers and they’ve worn you out,

how will you compete with horses?

If you’re falling to the ground in a safe region,

how will you do in the thickets by the Yarden (Jordan) river?

6 Even your brothers and other family members are working against you.

≈ They speak out against you.

Don’t trust them when they say good things about you.
