Jeremiah 21:11-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Message to the House of David
11 To the house of the king of Judah say: Hear the word of the Lord,(A) 12 O house of David! Thus says the Lord:
Execute justice in the morning,
and deliver from the hand of the oppressor
anyone who has been robbed,
or else my wrath will go forth like fire
and burn, with no one to quench it,
because of their evil doings.(B)
13 See, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley,
O rock of the plain,
says the Lord;
you who say, “Who can come down against us,
or who can enter our places of refuge?”(C)
14 I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings,
says the Lord;
I will kindle a fire in its forest,
and it shall devour all that is around it.(D)
Jeremiah 21:11-14
Christian Standard Bible
11 “And to the house of the king of Judah say this: ‘Hear the word of the Lord! 12 House of David, this is what the Lord says:
Administer justice every morning,
and rescue the victim of robbery
from his oppressor,(A)
or my anger will flare up like fire
and burn unquenchably
because of your evil deeds.
13 Beware! I am against you,(B)
you who sit above the valley,
you atop the rocky plateau—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
you who say, “Who can come down against us?(C)
Who can enter our hiding places?”
14 I will punish you according to what you have done(D)—
this is the Lord’s declaration.
I will kindle a fire in your forest(E)
that will consume everything around it.’”(F)
