Jeremiah 22:2-4

Holman Christian Standard Bible

² You are to say: Hear the word of the Lord, king of Judah, you who sit on the throne of David—you, your officers, and your people who enter these gates. ³ This is what the Lord says: Administer justice and righteousness.^(A) Rescue the victim of robbery from the hand of his oppressor.^(B) Don’t exploit or brutalize the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Don’t shed innocent blood in this place. ⁴ For if you conscientiously carry out this word, then kings sitting on David’s throne will enter through the gates of this palace^(C) riding on chariots and horses—they, their officers, and their people.
