Jeremiah 21:12-14

Easy-to-Read Version

“‘You must judge people fairly every day.
    Protect the victims from the criminals.
If you don’t do that, I will become very angry.
    My anger will be like a fire that no one will be able to put out.
    This will happen because you have done evil things.’

¹³ “Jerusalem, I am against you.
    You sit on top of the mountain.
    You sit like a queen over this valley.
You people of Jerusalem say,
    ‘No one can attack us.
    No one can come into our strong city.’”
This message is from the Lord.

¹⁴ “You will get the punishment you deserve.
    I will start a fire in your forests
    that will completely burn everything around you.”
This message is from the Lord.
