Jeremiah 22:1-4

1This is what the Lord says: “Go down to the house of the king of Judah and there speak this word,

2and say, ‘Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Judah, who 1sits on David’s throne, you and your servants and your people who enter these gates.

3This is what the Lord says: “2Do justice and righteousness, and save one who has been robbed from the power of his 3oppressor. And 4do not mistreat or do violence to the stranger, the orphan, or the widow; and do not 5shed innocent blood in this place.

4For if you will indeed perform this 6instruction, then 7kings will enter the gates of this house, sitting 8in David’s place on his throne, riding in chariots and on horses, the king himself, his servants, and his people.
