Jeremiah 22:1-5

Jeremiah 22:1-5

[1] Thus saith  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,  that sittest  upon the throne  of David,  thou, and thy servants,  and thy people  that enter  in by these gates:  [3] Thus saith  the LORD;  Execute  ye judgment  and righteousness,  and deliver  the spoiled  out of the hand  of the oppressor:  and do no wrong,  do no violence  to the stranger,  the fatherless,  nor the widow,  neither shed  innocent  blood  in this place.  [4] For if ye do  this thing  indeed,  then shall there enter in  by the gates  of this house  kings  sitting  upon the throne  of David,  riding  in chariots  and on horses,  he, and his servants,  and his people.  [5] But if ye will not hear  these words,  I swear  by myself, saith  the LORD,  that this house  shall become a desolation.
