22:1 The Lord told me, 1 “Go down 2 to the palace of the king of Judah. Give him a message from me there. 3 22:2 Say: ‘Listen, O king of Judah who follows in David’s succession. 4 You, your officials, and your subjects who pass through the gates of this palace must listen to what the Lord says. 5 22:3 The Lord says, “Do what is just and right. Deliver those who have been robbed from those 6 who oppress them. Do not exploit or mistreat foreigners who live in your land, children who have no fathers, or widows. 7 Do not kill innocent people 8 in this land.
