Jeremiah 21:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 O house of David, Thus saith the Lord, (A)Execute judgment [a]in the morning, and deliver the oppressed out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my wrath go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the wickedness of your works.
13 Behold, I come against thee, [b]O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the Lord, which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?
14 But I will visit you according to the fruit of your works, saith the Lord, and I will kindle a fire [c]in the forest thereof, and it shall devour round about it.

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.’”
