Jeremiah 21

Jeremiah 21:4

Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, &c.

I will utterly disable all your forces, and your weapons that are in your hands, from hurting or opposing your enemies, or helping yourselves.

Jeremiah 21:12

O house of David, thus saith the LORD; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor.

O thou King of Judah, the heir of David’s throne, do thou stir up thyself zealously and faithfully to do justice in thy place; deliver and right the oppressed.

Jeremiah 21:13

Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the LORD; which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?

Behold, I am against thee, O Jerusalem, who hast vainly trusted hitherto in thy strength and situation: it is not that defenced valley, wherein a great part of thee, towards mount Libanus, is seated, nor the forts of thy plain, that can keep out my power, or the power of that enemy, the Chaldean, which I shall stir up against thee.

Jeremiah 21:14

I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.

I will kindle a fire in the forest of Libanus; and, by the goodly cedars thereof, will set Jerusalem on a flame, which shall devour it to ashes.
