Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.

The verse 3 is found in chapter 22 of Jeremiah. The word addressed to the royal house establishes a criterion for evaluating government: practice justice, rescue the oppressed, and do not shed innocent blood. Davidic identity is not an automatic privilege; it is linked to obedience. Jerusalem’s destruction will be explained by abandoning these responsibilities.

So spricht der HERR: Haltet Recht und Gerechtigkeit, und errettet den Beraubten von des Frevlers Hand, und schindet nicht die Fremdlinge, Waisen und Witwen, und tut niemand Gewalt, und vergießt nicht unschuldig Blut an dieser Stätte.
Así ha dicho Jehová: Haced juicio y justicia, y librad al oprimido de mano del opresor, y no engañéis, ni robéis al extranjero, ni al huérfano, ni a la viuda, ni derraméis sangre inocente en este lugar.
Así dice Jehová: practiquen el derecho y la justicia; libren al despojado de manos del opresor. No maltraten ni hagan violencia al extranjero, al huérfano y a la viuda, ni derramen sangre inocente en este lugar.
Ainsi parle l'Eternel: Pratiquez la justice et l'équité; délivrez l'opprimé des mains de l'oppresseur; ne maltraitez pas l'étranger, l'orphelin et la veuve; n'usez pas de violence, et ne répandez point de sang innocent dans ce lieu.
Così ha detto il Signore: Fate giudicio e giustizia; e riscotete di man dell’oppressore colui a cui è tolto il suo: e non fate torto al forestiere, nè all’orfano, nè alla vedova; non fate violenza, e non ispandete sangue innocente in questo luogo.
Assim diz o SENHOR: Exercei o juízo e a justiça, e livrai o espoliado da mão do opressor; e não oprimais ao estrangeiro, nem ao órfão, nem à viúva; não façais violência, nem derrameis sangue inocente neste lugar.
耶和華如此說:你們要施行公平和公義,拯救被搶奪的脫離欺壓者的手,不可虧負寄居的和孤兒寡婦,不可用殘暴對待他們,也不可在這地方流無辜人的血。
