Message to the House of David

11 To the house of the king of Judah say: Hear the word of the Lord, ¹²O 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.
