Judgment on the Royal House of Judah
11-12 The Lord told me to give this message to the royal house of Judah, the descendants of David: “Listen to what I, the Lord, am saying. See that justice is done every day. Protect the person who is being cheated from the one who is cheating him. If you don't, the evil you are doing will make my anger burn like a fire that cannot be put out. 13 You, Jerusalem, are sitting[a] high above the valleys, like a rock rising above the plain. But I will fight against you. You say that no one can attack you or break through your defenses.

New International Version
11 “Moreover, say to the royal house(A) of Judah, ‘Hear the word of the Lord. 12 This is what the Lord says to you, house of David:
“‘Administer justice(B) every morning;
rescue from the hand of the oppressor(C)
the one who has been robbed,
or my wrath will break out and burn like fire(D)
because of the evil(E) you have done—
burn with no one to quench(F) it.
13 I am against(G) you, Jerusalem,
you who live above this valley(H)
on the rocky plateau, declares the Lord—
you who say, “Who can come against us?
Who can enter our refuge?”(I)
