13 “Behold, (A)I am against you, you inhabitant of the (B)valley,
You [a]rocky plain,” declares the Lord,
“You who say, ‘(C)Who will come down against us?
Or who will enter our dwellings?’
14 But I will punish you (D)according to the [b]results of your deeds,” declares the Lord,
“And I will (E)kindle a fire in its forest
So that it may devour all its surroundings.”’”
