Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.
- A 2 Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David—
- B 2 king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David—you and your officials and your people
- C 2 who enter these gates
- D 3 This is what the LORD says: Administer justice and righteousness. Rescue the victim of robbery from the hand of his oppressor. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Do not shed innocent blood in this place.
- C' 4 then kings who sit on David's throne will enter through the gates of this palace
- C 2 who enter these gates
- B' 4 kings who sit on David's throne—they and their officials and their people
- B 2 king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David—you and your officials and your people
- A' 5 But if you do not obey these words, then I swear by Myself, declares the LORD, that this house will become a pile of rubble.
