Warnings to the Royal Court
21:11 The Lord told me to say to the royal court of Judah , “Listen to what the Lord says,
21:12 O royal family descended from David . The Lord says : ‘See to it that people each day are judged fairly. Deliver those who have been robbed from those who oppress them. Otherwise , my wrath will blaze out against you. It will burn like a fire that cannot be put out because of the evil that you have done .
21:13 Listen , you who sit enthroned above the valley on a rocky plateau . I am opposed to you,’ says the Lord . ‘You boast , “No one can swoop down on us. No one can penetrate into our places of refuge .”
21:14 But I will punish you as your deeds deserve ,’ says the Lord . ‘I will set fire to your palace ; it will burn up everything around it.’”
