Jeremiah 21:12-14

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹²descendants of David. This is what the Lord says:

Judge fairly every morning.
Rescue those who have been robbed from those who oppress them.
Otherwise, my fury will break out and burn like fire.
No one will be able to put it out
because of the evil things you have done.

¹³“ ‘I’m against you, Jerusalem.
You are the city that is in the valley
and on the rock in the plain,’ ”
declares the Lord.
“ ‘But you ask, “Who can attack us?
Who can enter our places of refuge?”

¹⁴“ ‘I will punish you because of the evil things you have done,’ ”
declares the Lord.
“ ‘I will start a fire in your forests,
and it will burn up everything around you.’ ”
