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)
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.”’”
