1 Thus says the Lord: “Go down to the house of the king of Judah and speak there this word, 2 and say, ^w‘Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people who enter these gates. 3 Thus says the Lord: ^xDo justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And ^ydo no wrong or violence ^zto the resident alien, ^xthe fatherless, and the widow, nor ^ashed innocent blood in this place.
