Jeremiah 21:12-14
The Message
11-14 “To the royal house of Judah, listen to God’s Message!
House of David, listen—God’s Message to you:
‘Start each day by dealing with justice.
Rescue victims from their exploiters.
Prevent fire—the fire of my anger—
for once it starts, it can’t be put out.
Your evil regime
is fuel for my anger.
Don’t you realize that I’m against you,
yes, against you.
You think you’ve got it made,
all snug and secure.
You say, “Who can possibly get to us?
Who can crash our party?”
Well, I can—and will!
I’ll punish your evil regime.
I’ll start a fire that will rage unchecked,
burn everything in sight to cinders.’”
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.’”
