Introduction
This chapter is connected with the foregoing. The prophet expostulates with God concerning the ways of Providence in permitting the wicked to prosper, Jeremiah 12:1-4 . It is intimated to him that he must endure still greater trials, Jeremiah 12:5 , from his false and deceitful brethren, Jeremiah 12:6 ; but that still heavier judgments awaited the nation for their crimes, Jeremiah 12:7-13 . That God, however, would at length have compassion on them; restore them to their land; and turn his judgments against those that oppressed them, if not prevented by their becoming converts to the true religion, Jeremiah 12:14-17 .
