Jeremiah 21:10
Context
10“For I have set My face against this city for harm and not for good,” declares the LORD. “It will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon and he will burn it with fire.”’

      11“Then say to the household of the king of Judah, ‘Hear the word of the LORD,

12O house of David, thus says the LORD:
         “Administer justice every morning;
         And deliver the person who has been robbed from the power of his oppressor,
         That My wrath may not go forth like fire
         And burn with none to extinguish it,
         Because of the evil of their deeds.

13“Behold, I am against you, O valley dweller,
         O rocky plain,” declares the LORD,
         “You men who say, ‘Who will come down against us?
         Or who will enter into our habitations?’

14“But I will punish you according to the results of your deeds,” declares the LORD,
         “And I will kindle a fire in its forest
         That it may devour all its environs.”’”
