Jeremiah 12

² You planted them, and they have taken root. They have grown and produced fruit. You are ever on their lips, but far from their hearts.

³ But You know me, O LORD; You see me and test my heart toward You. Drag away the wicked like sheep to the slaughter and set them apart for the day of carnage.
