Jeremiah 22:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 ¶ Woe unto him that buildeth his house by [a]unrighteousness, and his chambers without equity: he useth his neighbor without wages, and giveth him not for his work.
14 He saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers: so he will make himself large windows, and ceiling with cedar, and paint them with vermilion.
15 Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy [b]father eat and drink and prosper, when he executed judgment and justice?
