Jeremiah 22:1-3

New Catholic Bible

Chapter 22

¹ Thus said the Lord to me: Go down to the palace of the king of Judah and there deliver this message: ² Listen to the word of the Lord, O king of Judah, as you sit on the throne of David—you, your officials, and your people who enter through these gates. ³ Thus says the Lord: Act justly and with righteousness, and rescue the victim from the hand of his oppressor. Do not ill-treat aliens, orphans, and widows, or show violence toward them, or shed innocent blood in this place.
