Jeremiah 22:1-3

New International Reader's Version

The Lord Judges Evil Kings

22 The Lord said to Jeremiah, “Go down to the palace of the king of Judah. Announce my message there. Tell him, ² ‘King of Judah, listen to the Lord’s message. You are sitting on David’s throne. You and your officials and your people come through these gates. ³ The Lord says, “Do what is fair and right. Save those who have been robbed. Set them free from the people who have treated them badly. Do not do anything wrong to outsiders or widows in this place. Do not harm children whose fathers have died. Do not kill those who are not guilty of doing anything wrong.
