Jeremiah 21:12-14
Easy-to-Read Version
12 Family of David, this is what the Lord says:
“‘You must judge people fairly every day.
Protect the victims from the criminals.
If you don’t do that, I will become very angry.
My anger will be like a fire that no one will be able to 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 like a queen over this valley.
You people of Jerusalem say,
‘No one can attack us.
No one can come into our strong city.’”
This message is from the Lord.
14 “You will get the punishment you deserve.
I will start a fire in your forests
that will completely burn everything around you.”
This message is from the Lord.
Jeremiah 21:12-14
New International Version
12 This is what the Lord says to you, house of David:
“‘Administer justice(A) every morning;
rescue from the hand of the oppressor(B)
the one who has been robbed,
or my wrath will break out and burn like fire(C)
because of the evil(D) you have done—
burn with no one to quench(E) it.
13 I am against(F) you, Jerusalem,
you who live above this valley(G)
on the rocky plateau, declares the Lord—
you who say, “Who can come against us?
Who can enter our refuge?”(H)
14 I will punish you as your deeds(I) deserve,
declares the Lord.
I will kindle a fire(J) in your forests(K)
that will consume everything around you.’”
