Jeremiah 21:11-14
World English Bible
11 “Concerning the house of the king of Judah, hear Yahweh’s word: 12 House of David, Yahweh says,
‘Execute justice in the morning,
and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor,
lest my wrath go out like fire,
and burn so that no one can quench it,
because of the evil of your doings.
13 Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley,
and of the rock of the plain,’ says Yahweh.
‘You that say, “Who would come down against us?”
or “Who would enter into our homes?”
14 I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, says Yahweh;
and I will kindle a fire in her forest,
and it will devour all that is around her.’”
Jeremiah 21:11-14
New American Standard Bible
11 “Then say to the household of the (A)king of Judah, ‘Hear the word of the Lord, 12 (B)house of David, this is what the Lord says:
“(C)Administer justice [a]every (D)morning;
And save the person who has been robbed from the [b]power of his oppressor,
(E)So that My wrath will not spread like fire
And (F)burn, with no one to extinguish it,
Because of the evil of their deeds.
13 “Behold, (G)I am against you, you inhabitant of the (H)valley,
You [c]rocky plain,” declares the Lord,
“You who say, ‘(I)Who will come down against us?
Or who will enter our dwellings?’
14 But I will punish you (J)according to the [d]results of your deeds,” declares the Lord,
“And I will (K)kindle a fire in its forest
So that it may devour all its surroundings.”’”
