Start Each Day with a Sense of Justice

21GOD's Message to Jeremiah when King Zedekiah sent Pashur son of Malkijah and the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah to him with this request:H1697H3414H3068H4428H6667H7971H6583H1121H4441H6846H1121H4641H3548H559 2"Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, has waged war against us. Pray to GOD for us. Ask him for help. Maybe GOD will intervene with one of his famous miracles and make him leave."H1875H3068H1157H5019H4428H894H3898H3068H6213H6381H5927 3But Jeremiah said, "Tell Zedekiah:H559H3414H559H6667 4'This is the GOD of Israel's Message to you: You can say good-bye to your army, watch morale and weapons flushed down the drain. I'm going to personally lead the king of Babylon and the Chaldeans, against whom you're fighting so hard, right into the city itself.H559H3068H430H3478H5437H3627H4421H3027H3898H4428H894H3778H6696H2351H2346H622H8432H5892 5I'm joining their side and fighting against you, fighting all-out, holding nothing back. And in fierce anger.H3898H5186H3027H2389H2220H639H2534H1419H7110 6I'm prepared to wipe out the population of this city, people and animals alike, in a raging epidemic.H5221H3427H5892H120H929H4191H1419H1698 7And then I will personally deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, his princes, and any survivors left in the city who haven't died from disease, been killed, or starved. I'll deliver them to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon—yes, hand them over to their enemies, who have come to kill them. He'll kill them ruthlessly, showing no mercy.'H310H5002H3068H5414H6667H4428H3063H5650H5971H7604H5892H1698H2719H7458H3027H5019H4428H894H3027H341H3027H1245H5315H5221H6310H2719H2347H2550H7355 8"And then tell the people at large, 'GOD's Message to you is this: Listen carefully. I'm giving you a choice: life or death.H5971H559H559H3068H5414H6440H1870H2416H1870H4194 9Whoever stays in this city will die—either in battle or by starvation or disease. But whoever goes out and surrenders to the Chaldeans who have surrounded the city will live. You'll lose everything—but not your life.H3427H5892H4191H2719H7458H1698H3318H5307H3778H6696H2421H2421H5315H7998 10I'm determined to see this city destroyed. I'm that angry with this place! GOD's Decree. I'm going to give it to the king of Babylon, and he's going to burn it to the ground.'H7760H6440H5892H7451H2896H5002H3068H5414H3027H4428H894H8313H784 11"To the royal house of Judah, listen to GOD's Message!H1004H4428H3063H8085H1697H3068 12House of David, listen—GOD's Message to you: 'Start each day by dealing with justice. Rescue victims from their exploiters. Prevent fire—the fire of my anger— for once it starts, it can't be put out. Your evil regime is fuel for my anger.H1004H1732H559H3068H1777H4941H1242H5337H1497H3027H6231H2534H3318H784H1197H3518H6440H7455H4611 13Don't you realize that I'm against you, yes, against you. You think you've got it made, all snug and secure. You say, "Who can possibly get to us? Who can crash our party?"H3427H6010H6697H4334H5002H3068H559H5181H935H4585 14Well, I can—and will! I'll punish your evil regime. I'll start a fire that will rage unchecked, burn everything in sight to cinders.'"H6485H6529H4611H5002H3068H3341H784H3293H398H5439
