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.’”

The Guilt of Judah’s King
11 “To the house of the king of Judah say, ‘Hear this message from the Lord.
12 This is what the Lord says, house of David:
“Judge appropriately every morning,
and deliver those who have been robbed
from the oppressor,
so my anger does not break out like fire
and burn with no one to put it out
because of your evil deeds.
13 “Look, I’m against you,
city dwelling in the valley,
rock of the plain,”
declares the Lord,
“those of you who say, ‘Who can come down against us
and who can enter our habitations?’
14 But I’ll punish you according to
what you have done,”[a]
declares the Lord.
“I’ll start a fire in her forest,
and it will consume everything around her.”’”

11 And touching the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the word of the Lord;
12 O house of David, thus saith the Lord; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
13 Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the Lord; which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?
