Helping the Poor

Name Date

Read the Story

God sent Jeremiah to the king's house. God told the king to be fair. He told him to help people who had no one to help them.

One king built a big house. But he did not pay his workers. His father Josiah was different. Josiah helped the poor. God said that is how to know him.

Memory Verse

He judged the cause of the poor and needy; so then it was well. Wasn’t this to know me?” says Yahweh.

Jeremiah 22:16 (WEB)
