Message to the House of David
11 “And concerning 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[a] judgment (B)in the morning;
And deliver him who is plundered
Out of the hand of the oppressor,
Lest My fury go forth like fire
And burn so that no one can quench it,
Because of the evil of your doings.
13 “Behold, (C)I am against you, O [b]inhabitant of the valley,
And rock of the plain,” says the Lord,
“Who say, (D)‘Who shall come down against us?
Or who shall enter our dwellings?’
14 But I will punish you according to the (E)fruit of your [c]doings,” says the Lord;
“I will kindle a fire in its forest,
And (F)it shall devour all things around it.” ’ ”

11 “And concerning 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 despoiled 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, who say, “Who shall come down against us? Or who shall enter into our habitations?”
14 But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the Lord; and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.’”

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.’”
