Jeremiah 21:11-14
English Standard Version
Message to the House of David
11 “And to the house of the king of Judah say, ‘Hear the word of the Lord, 12 O house of David! Thus says the Lord:
(A)“‘Execute justice (B)in the morning,
and deliver from the hand of the oppressor
him who has been robbed,
(C)lest my wrath go forth like fire,
and burn with none to quench it,
because of your evil deeds.’”
13 (D)“Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley,
O rock of the plain,
declares the Lord;
you who say, (E)‘Who shall come down against us,
or who shall enter our habitations?’
14 (F)I will punish you according to (G)the fruit of your deeds,
declares the Lord;
(H)I will kindle a fire in her forest,
(I)and it shall devour all that is around her.”
Jeremiah 21:11-14
New American Standard Bible
11 “Then say to the household of the (A)king of Judah, ‘Hear the word of the Lord, 12 (B)house of David, this is what the Lord says:
“(C)Administer justice [a]every (D)morning;
And save the person who has been robbed from the [b]power of his oppressor,
(E)So that My wrath will not spread like fire
And (F)burn, with no one to extinguish it,
Because of the evil of their deeds.
13 “Behold, (G)I am against you, you inhabitant of the (H)valley,
You [c]rocky plain,” declares the Lord,
“You who say, ‘(I)Who will come down against us?
Or who will enter our dwellings?’
14 But I will punish you (J)according to the [d]results of your deeds,” declares the Lord,
“And I will (K)kindle a fire in its forest
So that it may devour all its surroundings.”’”

New International Version
11 “Moreover, say to the royal house(A) of Judah, ‘Hear the word of the Lord. 12 This is what the Lord says to you, house of David:
“‘Administer justice(B) every morning;
rescue from the hand of the oppressor(C)
the one who has been robbed,
or my wrath will break out and burn like fire(D)
because of the evil(E) you have done—
burn with no one to quench(F) it.
13 I am against(G) you, Jerusalem,
you who live above this valley(H)
on the rocky plateau, declares the Lord—
you who say, “Who can come against us?
Who can enter our refuge?”(I)
14 I will punish you as your deeds(J) deserve,
declares the Lord.
I will kindle a fire(K) in your forests(L)
that will consume everything around you.’”
