12 ·Family [L House] of David, this is what the Lord says:

You must judge people ·fairly [with justice] every morning.
    ·Save [Protect; Rescue] the person who has been robbed
    from the ·power [L hand] of his ·attacker [oppressor].
If you don’t, ·I will become very angry [L my wrath will come out like fire].
    ·My anger will be like a fire that no one can put out [L It will burn and no one can extinguish; 2 Kin. 25:9],
because you have done evil things.

13 “‘I am against you [C Jerusalem],
    you who live ·on top of the mountain
    over this valley [L in the valley, the rock of the plain], says the Lord.
You say, “·No one can attack [L Who can come down against…?] us
    or come into our ·strong city [refuge].”
14 But I will give you the punishment you deserve, says the Lord.
    I will ·start [kindle] a fire in your forests
    that will ·burn up [L devour] everything around you!’”
