“For if you⌃ thoroughly correct your ways and your practices, and do indeed execute judgment between a man and his neighbor; and oppress not the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and go not after strange elohims to your hurt: then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land which I gave to your fathers of old and for ever.”
[Jer. 7:5-7, Bible, YAB]

doing any evil.”
