Jeremiah 21:11-14
Modern English Version
Message to the House of David
11 Concerning the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear the word of the Lord, 12 O house of David; thus says the Lord:
Execute justice each morning,
and deliver him who has been robbed
from the hand of the oppressor,
lest My fury go out like fire
and burn so that no one can quench it,
because of the evil of your deeds.
13 See, I am against you,
O inhabitant of the valley,
O rocky plain,
says the Lord,
you men who say,
“Who shall come down against us?
Or who shall enter our dwellings?”
14 But I will punish you
according to the fruit of your deeds,
says the Lord,
and I will kindle a fire in the forest,
and it will devour all things around it.
Jeremiah 21:11-14

O inhabitants[b] of the valley,
O rock of the plain,” declares[c] Yahweh;

or who can enter into our hiding place?’

according to the fruit of your deeds,” declares[d] Yahweh,
“And I will kindle a fire in its forest,
and it will devour all its surroundings.”’”
