Jeremiah's Message to the Royal House of Judah
22 1-2 The Lord told me to go to the palace of the king of Judah, the descendant of David, and there tell the king, his officials, and the people of Jerusalem to listen to what the Lord had said: 3 “I, the Lord, command you to do what is just and right. Protect the person who is being cheated from the one who is cheating him. Do not mistreat or oppress aliens, orphans, or widows; and do not kill innocent people in this holy place. 4 If you really do as I have commanded, then David's descendants will continue to be kings. And they, together with their officials and their people, will continue to pass through the gates of this palace in chariots and on horses.

Jeremiah 22:2-4
New International Version
2 ‘Hear(A) the word of the Lord to you, king of Judah, you who sit on David’s throne(B)—you, your officials and your people who come through these gates.(C) 3 This is what the Lord says: Do what is just(D) and right. Rescue from the hand of the oppressor(E) the one who has been robbed. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow,(F) and do not shed innocent blood(G) in this place. 4 For if you are careful to carry out these commands, then kings(H) who sit on David’s throne will come through the gates of this palace, riding in chariots and on horses, accompanied by their officials and their people.
