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 round her.”
