Jeremiah 21:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² O house of David,
    thus says the Lord:
Dispense justice each morning
    and deliver the victim from his oppressor,
lest my wrath burst forth like fire
    that burns and cannot be quenched
    because of your evil deeds.
^13 [a]Beware! I am against you,
    O residents of the valley,
    O rock of the plain, says the Lord,
you who say, “Who can possibly attack us and penetrate our places of refuge?”
¹⁴ I will punish you, says the Lord,
    as your deeds deserve.
I will kindle a fire in your forests,
    and it will devour everything around it.
