Jeremiah 22:3

3Thus says the Lord: aDo justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And bdo no wrong or violence cto the resident alien, dthe fatherless, and the widow, nor eshed innocent blood in this place.

Jeremiah 22:13-17

13 fWoe to him who builds his house by gunrighteousness,
and his upper rooms by injustice,
hwho makes his neighbor serve him for nothing
and does not give him his wages,
14who says, ‘I will build myself a great house
with spacious upper rooms,’
who cuts out windows for it,
paneling it with cedar
and ipainting it with vermilion.
15Do you think you are a king
because you compete in cedar?
Did not your father eat and drink
and jdo justice and righteousness?
kThen it was well with him.
16 lHe judged the cause of the poor and needy;
mthen it was well.
Is not this nto know me?
declares the Lord.
17But you have eyes and heart
only for your dishonest gain,
ofor shedding innocent blood,
and for practicing oppression and violence.”
