12. This is what the Lord says to you, house of David:‘ “Administer justice every morning;rescue from the hand of the oppressorthe one who has been robbed,or my wrath will break out and burn like firebecause of the evil you have done –burn with no one to quench it.
13. I am against you, Jerusalem,you who live above this valleyon 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 foreststhat will consume everything around you.” ’
