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.’”

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.’”
