But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.

The verse 14 is found in chapter 21 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah presents the responsibility of the king and the house of David in terms of social justice. The throne can remain only when it protects the oppressed and administers justice rightly. The threat against the forest and the city shows that the fire of judgment will reach those who refuse to practice justice.

Je vous châtierai selon le fruit de vos oeuvres, dit l'Eternel; Je mettrai le feu à votre forêt, Et il en dévorera tous les alentours.
Ed io farò punizione di voi secondo il frutto de’ vostri fatti, dice il Signore; ed accenderò un fuoco nella selva di quella, il quale consumerà tutto ciò che è d’intorno a lei
Eu vos castigarei segundo o fruto das vossas ações, diz o SENHOR; e acenderei o fogo no seu bosque, que consumirá a tudo o que está em redor dela.
我必按你們行事的結果懲罰你們, 也必使火在 耶路撒冷 的林中燃起, 將四圍所有的盡行燒滅。 這是耶和華說的。」
