Context Reading
1Yahweh said, “Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak this word there: 2‘Hear Yahweh’s word, king of Judah, who sits on David’s throne — you, your servants, and your people who enter in by these gates. 3Yahweh says: “Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor. Do no wrong. Do no violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Don’t shed innocent blood in this place. 4For if you do this thing indeed, then kings sitting on David’s throne will enter in by the gates of this house, riding in chariots and on horses — they, their servants, and their people.
