*
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 .
*
For if you will indeed obey this word ,
then there shall enter the gates of this house kings who sit on the throne of David ,
riding in chariots and on horses ,
they ,
and their servants ,
and their people .
*
But if you will not heed these words ,
I swear by myself ,
says the LORD ,
that this house shall become a desolation .
