Jeremiah 21:12-14

Common English Bible

¹² House of David! The Lord proclaims:
Begin each morning by administering justice,
    rescue from their oppressor
        those who have been robbed,
    or else my anger will spread like a wildfire,
        with no one to put it out,
        because of your evil deeds.
¹³ I am against you,
    you who live in the valley,^[a]
        like a rock of the plain,
            declares the Lord,
    and who say, “Who will come down to attack us?
        Who will breach our fortresses?”
¹⁴ I will punish you based on what you have done,
    declares the Lord.
I will set your^[b] forests on fire;
    the flames will engulf
        everything around you.^[c]
