Jeremiah’s Complaint

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

James 4:5

5Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit othat he has made to dwell in us”?
