11 To the royal house of Judah:Hear the word of the Lord,
12 house of David!Thus says the Lord:Each morning dispense justice,rescue the oppressed from the hand of the oppressor,Or my fury will break out like fireand burn with no one to quench itbecause of your evil deeds.
13 Beware! I am against you, Ruler of the Valley,Rock of the Plain—oracle of the Lord.You say, “Who will attack us,who can storm our defenses?”
14 I will punish you—oracle of the Lord—as your deeds deserve!I will kindle a fire in its forestthat shall devour all its surroundings.
