Yahweh’s punishment for Yehudah’s kings

21:11 Yahweh’s punishment for Yehudah’s kings

11 As for Yehudah’s king, listen to this message from Yahweh 12 for David’s descendants:

Administer justice every morning

and rescue anyone who’s been robbed, from their oppressor,

otherwise my fury will go out like fire

and burn, but no one will be able to extinguish it

because of your wicked activities.

13 Yahweh declares: listen you inhabitants from the valley

and you on the rocky plain.

You all say that no one can swoop down on you,

or be able to enter your hiding places,

14 however I will punish you all according to the results of your actions.

Yahweh declares:

I’ll start a fire in your forest

and it’ll consume everything around it.
