ESVEnglish Standard Version

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

O rock of the plain,

declares the Lord;

you who say, ‘Who shall come down against us,

or who shall enter our habitations?’

I will punish you according to the fruit of your deeds,

declares the Lord;

I will kindle a fire in her forest,

and it shall devour all that is around her.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)

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?”

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.’ ”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

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?”

I will punish you according to what you have done—

this is the Lord’s declaration.

I will kindle a fire in your forest

that will consume everything around it.’ ”

NLTNew Living Translation

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.”

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.’ ”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

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?’

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.” ’ ”

KJV 1900King James Version

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? 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.
