Jeremiah 22:11-15
New International Version
Jeremiah 22:11-15
New International Version
11 For this is what the Lord says about Shallum[a](A) son of Josiah, who succeeded his father as king of Judah but has gone from this place: “He will never return. 12 He will die(B) in the place where they have led him captive; he will not see this land again.”
13 “Woe(C) to him who builds(D) his palace by unrighteousness,
his upper rooms by injustice,
making his own people work for nothing,
not paying(E) them for their labor.
14 He says, ‘I will build myself a great palace(F)
with spacious upper rooms.’
So he makes large windows in it,
panels it with cedar(G)
and decorates it in red.(H)

Jeremiah 22:11-15
King James Version
11 For thus saith the Lord touching Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father, which went forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more:
12 But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.
13 Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;
14 That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is cieled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
15 Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?
