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.”’”

The Guilt of Judah’s King

11 “To the house of the king of Judah say, ‘Hear this message from the Lord.

12 This is what the Lord says, house of David:

“Judge appropriately every morning,
    and deliver those who have been robbed
        from the oppressor,
so my anger does not break out like fire
    and burn with no one to put it out
        because of your evil deeds.
13 “Look, I’m against you,
    city dwelling in the valley,
rock of the plain,”
    declares the Lord,
“those of you who say, ‘Who can come down against us
    and who can enter our habitations?’
14 But I’ll punish you according to
    what you have done,”[a]
        declares the Lord.
“I’ll start a fire in her forest,
    and it will consume everything around her.”’”
