절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	Jeremiah Complains to the Whenever I complain to you, Lord, you are always fair. But now I have questions about your justice. Why is life easy for sinners? Why are they successful?	Righteous art thou, O Lord, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?
2	You plant them like trees; you let them prosper and produce fruit. Yet even when they praise you, they don't mean it.	Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins.
3	But you know, Lord, how faithful I've always been, even in my thoughts. So drag my enemies away and butcher them like sheep!	But thou, O Lord, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
4	How long will the ground be dry and the pasturelands parched? The birds and animals are dead and gone. And all of this happened because the people are so sinful. They even brag, “God can't see the sins we commit.”	How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end.
5	The Answers Jeremiah Jeremiah, if you get tired in a race against people, how can you possibly run against horses? If you fall in open fields, what will happen in the forest along the Jordan River?	If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
6	Even your own family has turned against you. They act friendly, but don't trust them. They're out to get you, and so is everyone else.	For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.
7	The Is Furious with His People I loved my people and chose them as my very own. But now I will reject them and hand them over to their enemies.	I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
8	My people have turned against me and roar at me like lions. That's why I hate them.	Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it.
9	My people are like a hawk surrounded and attacked by other hawks. Tell the wild animals to come and eat their fill.	Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.
10	My beautiful land is ruined like a field or a vineyard trampled by shepherds and stripped bare by their flocks.	Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
11	Every field I see lies barren, and no one cares.	They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.
12	A destroying army marches along desert roads and attacks everywhere. They are my deadly sword; no one is safe from them.	The spoilers are come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of the Lord shall devour from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh shall have peace.
13	My people, you planted wheat, but because I was furious, I let only weeds grow. You wore yourselves out and gained only shame!	They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
14	The Will Have Pity on Other Nations The Lord said: I gave this land to my people Israel, but enemies around it have attacked and robbed it. So I will uproot them from their own countries just as I will uproot Judah from its land.	Thus saith the Lord against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.
15	But later, I will have pity on these nations and bring them back to their own lands.	And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
16	They once taught my people to worship Baal. But if they admit I am the only true God, and if they let my people teach them how to worship me, these nations will also become my people.	And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The Lord liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people.
17	However, if they don't listen to me, I will uproot them from their lands and completely destroy them. I, the Lord, have spoken.	But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the Lord.
