Popular Bible Verses from Jeremiah 22

This is what the LORD says: Administer justice and righteousness.  Rescue the victim of robbery from his oppressor.  Don’t exploit or brutalize the resident alien, the fatherless, or the widow.  Don’t shed innocent blood in this place.

Are you a king because you excel in cedar? Didn’t your father eat and drink and administer justice and righteousness?  Then it went well with him. He took up the case of the poor and needy;  then it went well. Is this not what it means to know me? This is the  LORD’s declaration.

Woe for the one who builds his palace through unrighteousness,  his upstairs rooms through injustice, who makes his neighbor serve without pay and will not give him his wages
