11 “Moreover, say to the royal house of Judah, ‘Hear the word of the Lord. 12 This is what the Lord says to you, house of David:

“ ‘Administer justice every morning;

rescue from the hand of the oppressor

the one who has been robbed,

or my wrath will break out and burn like fire

because of the evil you have done—

burn with no one to quench it.

13 I am against you, Jerusalem,

you who live above this valley

on the rocky plateau, declares the Lord—

you who say, “Who can come against us?

Who can enter our refuge?”

14 I will punish you as your deeds deserve,

declares the Lord.

I will kindle a fire in your forests

that will consume everything around you.’ ”

11 And touching the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the word of the Lord; 12 O house of David, thus saith the Lord; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings. 13 Behold, I am against thee, 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 punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the Lord: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.

11 “Say to the royal family of Judah, ‘Listen to this message from the Lord! 12 This is what the Lord says to the dynasty of David:

“ ‘Give justice each morning to the people you judge!

Help those who have been robbed;

rescue them from their oppressors.

Otherwise, my anger will burn like an unquenchable fire

because of all your sins.

13 I will personally fight against the people in Jerusalem,

that mighty fortress—

the people who boast, “No one can touch us here.

No one can break in here.”

14 And I myself will punish you for your sinfulness,

says the Lord.

I will light a fire in your forests

that will burn up everything around you.’ ”

11 “And concerning the house of the king of Judah, say, ‘Hear the word of the Lord, 12 O house of David! Thus says the Lord:

“Execute judgment in the morning;

And deliver him who is plundered

Out of the hand of the oppressor,

Lest My fury go forth like fire

And burn so that no one can quench it,

Because of the evil of your doings.

13 “Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley,

And rock of the plain,” says the Lord,

“Who say, ‘Who shall come down against us?

Or who shall enter our dwellings?’

14 But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings,” says the Lord;

“I will kindle a fire in its forest,

And it shall devour all things around it.” ’ ”

11 “Say to Judah’s royal family: ‘Hear the word of the Lord. 12 Family of David, this is what the Lord says:

You must judge people fairly every morning.

Save the person who has been robbed

from the power of his attacker.

If you don’t, I will become very angry.

My anger will be like a fire that no one can put out,

because you have done evil things.

13 “ ‘Jerusalem, I am against you,

you who live on top of the mountain

over this valley, says the Lord.

You say, “No one can attack us

or come into our strong city.”

14 But I will give you the punishment you deserve, says the Lord.

I will start a fire in your forests

that will burn up everything around you!’ ”

11 And touching the house of the king of Judah, hear ye the word of Jehovah: 12 O house of David, thus saith Jehovah, Execute justice in the morning, and deliver him that is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my wrath go forth like fire, and burn so that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings. 13 Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and of the rock of the plain, saith Jehovah; you that say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations? 14 And I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith Jehovah; and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it shall devour all that is round about her.

11 And touching the house of the king of Judah, hear ye the word of Jehovah. 12 House of David, thus saith Jehovah: Judge with justice in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go forth like fire and burn, and there be none to quench it, because of the evil of your doings. 13 Behold, I am against thee, inhabitress of the valley, the rock of the plain, saith Jehovah; ye that say, Who shall come down against us, or who shall enter into our dwellings? 14 And I will visit you according to the fruit of your doings, saith Jehovah; and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it shall devour all that is round about her.

11 “Say to the nation of the king of Judah, ‘Listen to the Lord’s word, 12 descendants of David. This is what the Lord says: 

Judge fairly every morning. 

Rescue those who have been robbed from those who oppress them. 

Otherwise, my fury will break out and burn like fire. 

No one will be able to put it out 

because of the evil things you have done. 

13 “ ‘I’m against you, Jerusalem. 

You are the city that is in the valley 

and on the rock in the plain,’ ” 

declares the Lord. 

“ ‘But you ask, “Who can attack us? 

Who can enter our places of refuge?” 

14 “ ‘I will punish you because of the evil things you have done,’ ” 

declares the Lord. 

“ ‘I will start a fire in your forests, 

and it will burn up everything around you.’ ” 

11 “And to the house of the king of Judah say this: ‘Hear the word of the Lord! 12 House of David, this is what the Lord says:

Administer justice every morning,

and rescue the victim of robbery

from the hand of his oppressor,

or My anger will flare up like fire

and burn unquenchably

because of their evil deeds.

13 Beware! I am against you,

you who sit above the valley,

you atop the rocky plateau—

this is the Lord’s declaration—

you who say, “Who can come down against us?

Who can enter our hiding places?”

14 I will punish you according to what you have done —

this is the Lord’s declaration.

I will kindle a fire in its forest

that will consume everything around it.’ ”

11 To the house of the king of Judah say: Hear the word of the Lord, 12 O house of David! Thus says the Lord:

Execute justice in the morning,

and deliver from the hand of the oppressor

anyone who has been robbed,

or else my wrath will go forth like fire,

and burn, with no one to quench it,

because of your evil doings.

13 See, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley,

O rock of the plain,

says the Lord;

you who say, “Who can come down against us,

or who can enter our places of refuge?”

14 I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings,

says the Lord;

I will kindle a fire in its forest,

and it shall devour all that is around it.

11 “And to the house of the king of Judah, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh, 12 O house of David, thus says Yahweh,

“Execute judgment in the morning, justice,

and deliver the one who has been seized

from the hand of the oppressor,

lest my wrath goes forth like the fire and it burns,

and there is no one who quenches it

because of the evil of your deeds.

13 Look, I am against you,

O inhabitants of the valley,

O rock of the plain,” declares Yahweh;

“you who say, ‘Who can descend against us,

or who can enter into our hiding place?’

14 And I will punish you

according to the fruit of your deeds,” declares Yahweh,

“And I will kindle a fire in its forest,

and it will devour all its surroundings.” ’ ”

11 “Also speak to Judah’s royal family. Tell them, ‘Listen to the Lord’s message. 12 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 flatland.

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 up everything around you.” ’ ”

11 “Then say to the household of the king of Judah, ‘Hear the word of the Lord,

12 O house of David, thus says the Lord:

“Administer justice every morning;

And deliver the person who has been robbed from the power of his oppressor,

That My wrath may not go forth like fire

And burn with none to extinguish it,

Because of the evil of their deeds.

13 “Behold, I am against you, O valley dweller,

O rocky plain,” declares the Lord,

“You men who say, ‘Who will come down against us?

Or who will enter into our habitations?’

14 “But I will punish you according to the results of your deeds,” declares the Lord,

“And I will kindle a fire in its forest

That it may devour all its environs.” ’ ”
