Jeremiah 21:11-14
Authorized (King James) Version
11 And touching the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the word of the Lord; 12 O house of David, thus saith the Lord;
Execute judgment in the morning,
and deliver him that is spoiled
out of the hand of the oppressor,
lest my fury go out like fire,
and burn that none can quench it,
because of the evil of your doings.
13 Behold, I am against thee,
O inhabitant of the valley,
and rock of the plain, saith the Lord;
which say, Who shall come down against us?
or who shall enter into our habitations?
14 But I will punish you
according to the fruit of your doings, saith the Lord:
and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof,
and it shall devour all things round about it.

Message to the House of David
11 “And concerning the house of the king of Judah, say, ‘Hear the word of the Lord, 12 O house of David! Thus says the Lord:
(A)“Execute[a] judgment (B)in the morning;
And deliver him who is plundered
Out of the hand of the oppressor,
Lest My fury go forth like fire
And burn so that no one can quench it,
Because of the evil of your doings.
13 “Behold, (C)I am against you, O [b]inhabitant of the valley,
And rock of the plain,” says the Lord,
“Who say, (D)‘Who shall come down against us?
Or who shall enter our dwellings?’
14 But I will punish you according to the (E)fruit of your [c]doings,” says the Lord;
“I will kindle a fire in its forest,
And (F)it shall devour all things around it.” ’ ”
