(Some words not found in UHB: house_of Dāvid thus he/it_had_said YHWH administer to,morning justice and,deliver robbed from_[the],hand_of oppressor lest go_forth like,fire rage_of,my and,it_will_burn and,there_[will]_not_[be] quench from=face/in_front_of evil_of מעללי,הם )

This refers to the same people as “the house of the king of Judah.” All of the kings of Judah were descendants of David. Alternate translation: [Descendants of David]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

(Some words not found in UHB: house_of Dāvid thus he/it_had_said YHWH administer to,morning justice and,deliver robbed from_[the],hand_of oppressor lest go_forth like,fire rage_of,my and,it_will_burn and,there_[will]_not_[be] quench from=face/in_front_of evil_of מעללי,הם )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word justice, you can express the same idea with a verbal form. Alternate translation: [Always treat the people whom you rule over fairly]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) the hand of the oppressor

(Some words not found in UHB: house_of Dāvid thus he/it_had_said YHWH administer to,morning justice and,deliver robbed from_[the],hand_of oppressor lest go_forth like,fire rage_of,my and,it_will_burn and,there_[will]_not_[be] quench from=face/in_front_of evil_of מעללי,הם )

Here “hand” refers to power. Alternate translation: [the power of the one who oppresses them]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Some words not found in UHB: house_of Dāvid thus he/it_had_said YHWH administer to,morning justice and,deliver robbed from_[the],hand_of oppressor lest go_forth like,fire rage_of,my and,it_will_burn and,there_[will]_not_[be] quench from=face/in_front_of evil_of מעללי,הם )

Here Yahweh’s punishment is spoken of as if it was a fire that would burn up those who did evil. Alternate translation: [I will punish and destroy you in my anger quickly and completely]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) there is no one who can quench it

(Some words not found in UHB: house_of Dāvid thus he/it_had_said YHWH administer to,morning justice and,deliver robbed from_[the],hand_of oppressor lest go_forth like,fire rage_of,my and,it_will_burn and,there_[will]_not_[be] quench from=face/in_front_of evil_of מעללי,הם )

Jeremiah continues the simile of Yahweh’s punishment as a fire that was so hot that no one could put it out with water.
