TSK · Jeremiah 7:6

“You must not wrong a resident foreigner nor oppress him, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

You must not go after other gods, those of the surrounding peoples,

and the curse if you pay no attention to his commandments and turn from the way I am setting before you today to pursue other gods you have not known.

‘Cursed is the one who perverts justice for the resident foreigner, the orphan, and the widow.’ Then all the people will say,‘Amen!’

Defend the cause of the poor and the fatherless! Vindicate the oppressed and suffering!

Do not move an ancient boundary stone, or take over the fields of the fatherless,

“It did no good for me to punish your people. They did not respond to such correction. You slaughtered your prophets like a voracious lion.”

“I will come to you in judgment. I will be quick to testify against those who practice divination, those who commit adultery, those who break promises, and those who exploit workers, widows, and orphans, who refuse to help the resident foreigner and in this way show they do not fear me,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.

saying,“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood!” But they said,“What is that to us? You take care of it yourself!”

Pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their adversity and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
