Jeremiah 21:12-14

International Children’s Bible

You must judge people fairly every day.
    Protect from criminals
    the person who has been robbed.
If you don’t do that, I will become very angry.
    My anger will be like a fire that no one can 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 over this valley, says the Lord.
You say, “No one can attack us.
    No one can come into our strong city.”
¹⁴ But I will give you the punishment you deserve, says the Lord.
    I will start a fire in your forests.
    It will burn up everything around you!’”
