Jeremiah 22:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ Thus saith the Lord: Execute judgement and justice, and deliver him that is oppressed out of the hand of the oppressor: and afflict not the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, nor oppress them unjustly: and shed not innocent blood in this place.

⁴ For if you will do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house, kings of the race of David sitting upon his throne, and riding in chariots and on horses, they and their servants, and their people.

⁵ But if you will not hearken to these words: I swear by myself, saith the Lord, that this house shall become a desolation.
