Jeremiah 22:1-3

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Exhortation to Repent

22 Thus says the Lord: “Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word, ² and say, ‘Hear the word of the Lord, O King of Judah, who sit on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people who enter these gates. ³ Thus says the Lord: Do justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And do no wrong or violence to the alien, the fatherless, and the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place.
