Jehoiakim King of Judah(A)
36 Jehoiakim(B) was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Zebidah daughter of Pedaiah; she was from Rumah. 37 And he did evil(C) in the eyes of the Lord, just as his predecessors had done.

Messages about the Kings
13 “Woe to him who builds his house (A)without righteousness,
And his upstairs rooms without justice,
Who uses his neighbor’s services without pay
And (B)does not give him his wages,
14 Who says, ‘I will (C)build myself a large house
With spacious upstairs rooms,
And cut out its windows,
[a]Paneling it with (D)cedar and painting it [b]bright red.’
15 Do you become a king because you are competing in cedar?
Did your father not eat and drink
And (E)do justice and righteousness?
Then it was (F)well for him.
16 He pled the cause of the (G)afflicted and the poor,
Then it was well.
(H)Is that not what it means to know Me?”
Declares the Lord.
17 “But your eyes and your heart
Are intent only upon your own (I)dishonest gain,
And on (J)shedding innocent blood,
And on practicing oppression and extortion.”
18 Therefore this is what the Lord says regarding (K)Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:
“They will not (L)mourn for him:
‘(M)Oh, my brother!’ or, ‘Oh, sister!’
They will not mourn for him:
‘Oh, for the master!’ or, ‘Oh, for his splendor!’
19 He will be (N)buried with a donkey’s burial,
Dragged off and thrown out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.

Jeremiah 22:13-19
New International Version
13 “Woe(A) to him who builds(B) his palace by unrighteousness,
his upper rooms by injustice,
making his own people work for nothing,
not paying(C) them for their labor.
14 He says, ‘I will build myself a great palace(D)
with spacious upper rooms.’
So he makes large windows in it,
panels it with cedar(E)
and decorates it in red.(F)
15 “Does it make you a king
to have more and more cedar?
Did not your father have food and drink?
He did what was right and just,(G)
so all went well(H) with him.
16 He defended the cause of the poor and needy,(I)
and so all went well.
Is that not what it means to know(J) me?”
declares the Lord.
17 “But your eyes and your heart
are set only on dishonest gain,(K)
on shedding innocent blood(L)
and on oppression and extortion.”(M)
18 Therefore this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
