24 but ^zlet him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. ^aFor in these things I delight, declares the Lord.”

3 Thus says the Lord: ^xDo justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And ^ydo no wrong or violence ^zto the resident alien, ^xthe fatherless, and the widow, nor ^ashed innocent blood in this place.
