About this episode
Jeremiah travels to the palace of King Jehoiakim and rebukes him for the exploitation of the poor, and the broad injustice and political violence during his reign: “Woe to him who builds his palace by injustice, his upper rooms with corruption, making his own people work for nothing, not paying them for their labor." "Do what is just and right. Rescue from the hand of the oppressor the one who has been robbed. Do no wrong, Nor violence to the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place."
