13 King Jehoiakim,[a] you are doomed!
You built a palace
    with large rooms upstairs.
14 You put in big windows
and used cedar paneling
    and red paint.
But you were unfair
and forced the builders to work
    without pay.

* 15 More cedar in your palace
doesn't make you a better king
    than your father Josiah.
He always did right—
he gave justice to the poor
    and was honest.
