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.’”

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)
