Habakkuk 2:12 (KJV)
Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!
Saints,
I don't know much of life, but I do know
NOT to steal from the poor, the fatherless. I do know
NOT to oppress any, for it's
NOT right! I know
NOT to rob anyone, especially those who don't have. I've learned and have been established through charity!
I can honestly say I stand tall by charity. I encourage anyone, be honest, please don't steal and understand you too
can give your way out of trouble. If you need some instructions/guidance - here read my book
Ecclesiastes 11:2. It's always updated with fresh insight!
Jeremiah 22:1-5, 13-17
This is what the Lord says: “Go down to the palace of the king of Judah and proclaim this message there: 2 ‘Hear the word of the Lord to you, king of Judah, you who sit on David’s throne—you, your officials and your people who come through these gates. 3 This is what the Lord says:
Do what is just and right. Rescue from the hand of the oppressor the one who has been robbed. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place. 4 For if you are careful to carry out these commands, then kings who sit on David’s throne will come through the gates of this palace, riding in chariots and on horses, accompanied by their officials and their people. 5 But if you do not obey these commands, declares the Lord, I swear by myself that this palace will become a ruin.’”
13 “Woe to him who builds his palace by unrighteousness, his upper rooms by injustice,
making his own people work for nothing, not paying them for their labor.
14 He says, ‘I will build myself a great palace with spacious upper rooms.’
So he makes large windows in it, panels it with cedar and decorates it in red.
15 “Does it make you a king to have more and more cedar?
Did not your father have food and drink?
He did what was right and just, so all went well with him.
16
He defended the cause of the poor and needy, and so all went well.
Is that not what it means to know me?” declares the Lord.17 “
But your eyes and your heart are set only on dishonest gain, on shedding innocent blood and on oppression and extortion.”
Micah 3:8-12 (KJV)
8
But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin. 9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity. 10
They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. 11 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us. 12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps...
In closing,
Jesus:
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! 38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Matthew 23:37-39 (KJV)
