11 "Say to the royal family of Judah, 'Listen to this message from the Lord ! 12 This is what the Lord says to the dynasty of David: "'Give justice each morning to the people you judge! Help those who have been robbed; rescue them from their oppressors. Otherwise, my anger will burn like an unquenchable fire because of all your sins. 13 I will personally fight against the people in Jerusalem, that mighty fortress- the people who boast, "No one can touch us here. No one can break in here." 14 And I myself will punish you for your sinfulness, says the Lord . I will light a fire in your forests that will burn up everything around you.'"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 21:11-14
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?
