Jeremiah 22:2

A Warning to Judah’s Kings

1This is what the LORD says: “Go down to the palace of the king of Judah and proclaim this message there,2saying, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David—you and your officials and your people who enter these gates.3This is what the LORD says: Administer justice and righteousness. Rescue the victim of robbery from the hand of his oppressor. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Do not shed innocent blood in this place.
