Jeremiah 12:3-4

3 ^aBut you, O Lord, know me;
^byou see me, and test my heart toward you.
^cPull them out like sheep for the slaughter,
and set them apart for ^dthe day of slaughter.
4 ^eHow long will the land mourn
and the grass of every field wither?
^fFor the evil of those who dwell in it
^gthe beasts and the birds are swept away,
because they said, “He will not see our latter end.”
