Ezekiel 45:9

1798–1870
Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute justice and righteousness; take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord Jehovah." — Ezekiel 45:9 (ASV)

The princes are exhorted to execute judgment, and abstain from “exaction” (literally “ejection”) such as that of Naboth by Ahab (1 Kings 21:19).
