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

Southern kingdom

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.

11 and_to_the _house _of the _king _of Yəhūdāh/(Judah) hear the _message _of YHWH.

12 Oh _house _of Dāvid thus YHWH he _says judge to_morning justice and_deliver one _who _has _been_robbed from_the_hand _of an _oppressor lest it _should _go _forth like_fire rage _of_my and_it _will _burn and_there_will_not_be one _who_extinguishes from_face/in _front _of the _wickedness _of your(pl)_deeds _of_your(pl)[fn].

13 HERE_I am_against_you Oh _inhabitant _of the _valley Oh _rock _of the _plain the _utterance _of YHWH Oh_you(pl)_who_say who will _he _come _down on_us and_who will _he _come in_our _hiding _of_places.

14 And_I _will _visit_judgement on_you(pl) according_to _the _fruit _of your(pl)_deeds _of_your(pl) the _utterance _of YHWH and_I _will _kindle a _fire in_forest _of_its and_it _will _consume all _of around _of_it.
