Message to the House of David

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:
^a“Execute¹ judgment ^bin 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, ^aI am against you, O inhabitant of the valley,
And rock of the plain,” says the Lord,
“Who say, ^b‘Who shall come down against us?
Or who shall enter our dwellings?’

14 But I will punish you according to the ^afruit of your doings,” says the Lord;
“I will kindle a fire in its forest,
And ^bit shall devour all things around it.” ’ ”
