Jeremiah 22:4

A Warning to Judah’s Kings

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.4For if you will indeed carry out these commands, then kings who sit on David’s throne will enter through the gates of this palace riding on chariots and horses—they and their officials and their people.5But if you do not obey these words, then I swear by Myself, declares the LORD, that this house will become a pile of rubble.’”
