11 “Then say to the household of the (A)king of Judah, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh, 12 O (B)house of David, thus says Yahweh:

(C)Render justice [a]every (D)morning;
And deliver the person who has been robbed from the [b]power of his oppressor,
(E)Lest My wrath go forth like fire
And (F)burn with none to extinguish it,
Because of the evil of their deeds.

13 “Behold, (G)I am against you, O (H)inhabitant of the valley,
O [c]rocky plain,” declares Yahweh,
“You men who say, ‘(I)Who will come down against us?
Or who will enter into our dwelling places?’
14 But I will punish you (J)according to the [d]results of your deeds,” declares Yahweh,
“And I will (K)kindle a fire in its forest
That it may devour all its surroundings.”’”
