Yahweh will punish Judah’s kings

11 Yahweh also told me to say this to the family of the king of Judah: “Listen to this message from Yahweh! 12 This is what he says to you descendants of King David:

‘Every day, make fair decisions for the people whom you judge.

Help those who have been robbed.

Rescue/Save them from those [SYN] who ◄oppress them/treat them cruelly►.

If you do not do that,

I will be angry and punish [MTY] you with a fire that will be impossible to extinguish,

because of all the sins that you have committed.

13 I will fight against you people of Jerusalem,

you who live on top of a rocky hill above the valley.

I will fight against you people who boast, saying,

“No one can attack us and break through our defenses.”

14 I will punish you for your wicked deeds like you deserve to be punished;

It will be as though I will light a fire in your forests

that will burn up everything around you!’ ”
