Buried inside the 21st chapter of Jeremiah is this verse (as translated in the Message):

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you?To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly[a] with your God.How do we deal justly? I think that is a question that all of us probably wrestle with. We deal with justice when we treat others fairly, when we stick up for the underdog, living in ways that are morally right and fair.
