11 "Then say to the household of the king of Judah , 'Hear the word of the Lord , 12 O 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 e 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 .""'

Commentary on Jeremiah 21:11-14
(Read Jeremiah 21:11-14)
The wickedness of the king and his family was the worse because of their relation to David. They were urged to act with justice, at once, lest the Lord's anger should be unquenchable. If God be for us, who can be against us? But if he be against us, who can do any thing for us?
