Jeremiah 22:3

“Thus saith the Lord, execute ye judgment and righteousness, etc.] Judge righteous Judgment; give the cause to whom it belongs, without respect of persons, and without a bribe or corruption; do no unrighteousness to any, by withholding from them what is due unto them, which was what this prince was chargeable with, (<242213>Jeremiah 22:13); and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor; that was robbed or wronged of his property by one superior to him in power or cunning; (see Gill on “<242112>Jeremiah 21:12”); and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow: who are not in a situation, and in such a condition and circumstances, as to defend…”

“Jehoiakim is meant here especially: he, by oppression, levied the tribute imposed on him by Pharaoh-necho, king of Egypt (Ch2 36:3), and taxed his people, and took their labor without pay, to build gorgeous palaces for himself (Jer 22:13-17), and shed innocent blood, for example, that of Urijah the prophet (Jer 26:20-24; Kg2 23:35; Kg2 24:4).”

“22:3 The evil deeds of Judah’s leaders included not being right or fair-minded and just. They had also refused to help those who had been robbed or to rescue the oppressed, and they mistreated foreigners, orphans, and widows (see Isa 58:6-7; Mic 6:8; Zech 7:9-10; 8:16-17; Matt 23:23).”
