3 This is what Jehovah says: “Uphold justice and righteousness. Rescue the one being robbed from the hand of the defrauder. Do not mistreat any foreign resident, and do not harm any fatherless child* or widow.+ And do not shed any innocent blood in this place.+

9 “This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: ‘You have gone far enough, chieftains of Israel!’

“‘Put an end to your violence and oppression, and do what is just and righteous.+ Stop seizing the property of my people,’+ declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah.
