Jeremiah 22:3-5

Modern English Version

³ Thus says the Lord: Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver the robbed out of the hand of the oppressor. And do no wrong or violence to the stranger, the fatherless, or the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place. ⁴ For if you indeed do these things, then kings sitting on the throne of David will enter by the gates of this house, riding in chariots and on horses, he and his servants and his people. ⁵ But if you will not obey these words, I swear by Myself, says the Lord, that this house will become a desolation.
