Jeremiah 22:3-5
New American Standard Bible 1995
3 Thus says the Lord, “(A)Do justice and righteousness, and deliver the one who has been robbed from the power of his (B)oppressor. Also (C)do not mistreat or do violence to the stranger, the orphan, or the widow; and do not (D)shed innocent blood in this place. 4 For if you men will indeed perform this thing, then (E)kings will enter the gates of this house, sitting [a]in David’s place on his throne, riding in chariots and on horses, even the king himself and his servants and his people. 5 (F)But if you will not obey these words, I (G)swear by Myself,” declares the Lord, “that this house will become a desolation.”’”

Jeremiah 22:3-5
New International Version
3 This is what the Lord says: Do what is just(A) and right. Rescue from the hand of the oppressor(B) the one who has been robbed. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow,(C) and do not shed innocent blood(D) in this place. 4 For if you are careful to carry out these commands, then kings(E) who sit on David’s throne will come through the gates of this palace, riding in chariots and on horses, accompanied by their officials and their people. 5 But if you do not obey(F) these commands, declares the Lord, I swear(G) by myself that this palace will become a ruin.’”
