~ Again the Lord Says ~

This is what the Lord says:
Do what is just and right.
Rescue from the hand of his oppressor
the one who has been robbed.
Do no wrong or violence to the alien,
the fatherless or the widow,
and do not shed innocent blood in this place.
For if you are careful to carry out these commands,
then kings 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.
But if you do not obey these commands,
declares the Lord,
I swear by Myself
that this palace will become a ruin.'"

(Jeremiah 22:3-5)
