Jeremiah 21:12-14
New International Reader's Version
12 Here is what the Lord says to you who belong to David’s royal house.
“ ‘ “Every morning do what is right and fair.
Save those who have been robbed.
Set them free from the people who have treated them badly.
If you do not, my anger will blaze out against you.
It will burn like fire because of the evil things you have done.
No one will be able to put it out.
13 Jerusalem, I am against you,”
announces the Lord.
“You live above this valley.
You are on a high, rocky plain.
And you say, ‘Who can come against us?
Who can enter our place of safety?’
14 But I will punish you in keeping with what you have done,”
announces the Lord.
“I will start a fire in your forests.
It will burn down everything around you.” ’ ”
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.’”
