Messages about the Kings

13 “Woe to him who builds his house (B)without righteousness
And his [a]upper rooms without justice,
Who uses his neighbor’s services without pay
And (C)does not give him his wages,
14 Who says, ‘I will (D)build myself a roomy house
With spacious [b]upper rooms,
And cut out its windows,
[c]Paneling it with (E)cedar and painting it [d]bright red.’
