Exegesis
The warning clause begins with pen tetze {פֶּן־תֵּצֵ֨א | pen tē-ṣēʾ} ‘lest it go out’ joined to kaesh {כָאֵ֜שׁ | ka-ʾēš} ‘like fire’ to depict sudden divine wrath in chamati {חֲמָתִ֗י | ḥă-mā-ṯî} ‘my wrath’.
In context — Jeremiah 21:12
O house of David, thus says the LORD : Execute justice in the morning , and deliver the one who has been robbed from the hand of the oppressor, so that my wrath does not go out like fire and burn with none to quench it because of the evil of your deeds.
