Jeremiah 21:13-14

New International Reader's Version

¹³ Jerusalem, I am against you,”
    announces the Lord.
“You live above this valley.
    You are on a high, rocky plain.
And you say, ‘Who can come against us?
    Who can enter our place of safety?’
¹⁴ But I will punish you in keeping with what you have done,”
    announces the Lord.
“I will start a fire in your forests.
    It will burn down everything around you.” ’ ”
