1. (Jeremiah 12:1-4) Jeremiah’s question to God. Righteous are You, O LORD, when I plead with You; Yet let me talk with You about Your judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper?

Jeremiah 12:5-6. If thou hast run with the footmen — Here God speaks, and applies a proverbial expression to the prophet’s circumstances, the import of which is, that if men find themselves unable to contend with a less power, it is in vain for them to strive with a greater.

Jeremiah 12 dives deep into the prophet's personal dialogue with God, wrestling with the timeless question - why do the wicked prosper while the righteous suffer? Jeremiah seeks understanding about the perceived discrepancy between God's justice and the reality he sees around him.
12:5-6 God is telling Jeremiah (cf. TEV, JPSOA footnote), if you cannot handle the pressure from your hometown, how are you going to handle the pressure from Jerusalem? In reality, God is saying, Jeremiah, are you too impatient or too sensitive?
Jeremiah began his ministry about a century after Isaiah. He began his work during the reign of King Josiah, and he continued right on through the Babylonian captivity. He is the one who predicted the seventy years’ captivity in Babylon.
