TSK · Jeremiah 21:12

I will walk in hostile rage against you and I myself will also discipline you seven times on account of your sins.

David reigned over all Israel; he guaranteed justice for all his people.

For Solomon. O God, grant the king the ability to make just decisions! Grant the king’s son the ability to make fair decisions!

He says,“How long will you make unjust legal decisions and show favoritism to the wicked?(Selah)

Each morning I will destroy all the wicked people in the land, and remove all evildoers from the city of the LORD.

Open your mouth on behalf of those unable to speak, for the legal rights of all the dying.

The Problem with Foolish Rulers Woe to you, O land, when your king is childish, and your princes feast in the morning!

The powerful will be like a thread of yarn, their deeds like a spark; both will burn together, and no one will put out the fire.

So Isaiah replied,“Pay attention, family of David. Do you consider it too insignificant to try the patience of men? Is that why you are also trying the patience of my God?

Egypt Will Disappoint Those who go down to Egypt for help are as good as dead, those who rely on war horses, and trust in Egypt’s many chariots and in their many, many horsemen. But they do not rely on the Holy One of Israel and do not seek help from the LORD.

Because of that, the LORD God of Heaven’s Armies, said to me,“Because these people have spoken like this, I will make the words that I put in your mouth like fire. And I will make this people like wood which the fiery judgments you speak will burn up.”

So,” the Sovereign LORD says,“my raging fury will be poured out on this land. It will be poured out on human beings and animals, on trees and crops. And it will burn like a fire which cannot be extinguished.”

In anger, in fury, and in wrath I myself will fight against you with my mighty power and great strength!

The LORD says,“Do what is just and right. Deliver those who have been robbed from those who oppress them. Do not exploit or mistreat resident foreigners who live in your land, children who have no fathers, or widows. Do not kill innocent people in this land.

“I, the LORD, promise that a new time will certainly come when I will raise up for them a righteous branch, a descendant of David. He will rule over them with wisdom and understanding and will do what is just and right in the land.

Perhaps then they will ask the LORD for mercy and will all stop doing the evil things they have been doing. For the LORD has threatened to bring great anger and wrath against these people.”

כ(Kaf) The LORD fully vented his wrath; he poured out his fierce anger. He started a fire in Zion; it consumed her foundations.

“Son of man, the house of Israel has become slag to me. All of them are like bronze, tin, iron, and lead in the furnace; they are the worthless slag of silver.

To arouse anger, to take vengeance, I have placed her blood on an exposed rock so that it cannot be covered up.

Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’s angry judgment. The whole earth will be consumed by his fiery wrath. Indeed, he will bring terrifying destruction on all who live on the earth.”

“The LORD of Heaven’s Armies said,‘Exercise true judgment and show brotherhood and compassion to each other.

For he has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David,

because it is God’s servant for your well-being. But be afraid if you do wrong because government does not bear the sword for nothing. It is God’s servant to administer punishment on the person who does wrong.
