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)

English Standard Version
Message to the House of David
11 “And to 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 justice (B)in the morning,
and deliver from the hand of the oppressor
him who has been robbed,
(C)lest my wrath go forth like fire,
and burn with none to quench it,
because of your evil deeds.’”
13 (D)“Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley,
O rock of the plain,
declares the Lord;
you who say, (E)‘Who shall come down against us,
or who shall enter our habitations?’
14 (F)I will punish you according to (G)the fruit of your deeds,
declares the Lord;
(H)I will kindle a fire in her forest,
(I)and it shall devour all that is around her.”
