Verse of the Day: 'do justice and righteousness'

Did not your father eat and drink
and do justice and righteousness?
Then it was well with him.
He judged the cause of the poor and needy;
then it was well.
Is not this to know me?
says the Lord.
But your eyes and heart
are only on your dishonest gain,
for shedding innocent blood,
and for practicing oppression and violence.

- Jeremiah 22:15-17

And we love our delusions and denials that keep us from seeing that this is what we do.
