Jeremiah 22:13-15

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹³ Woe for the one who builds his palace
through unrighteousness,^(A)
his upper rooms through injustice,
who makes his fellow man serve without pay
and will not give him his wages,^(B)
14 who says, “I will build myself a massive palace,
with spacious upper rooms.”
He will cut windows^[a] in it,
and it will be paneled with cedar
and painted with vermilion.
¹⁵ Are you a king because you excel in cedar?
Didn’t your father eat and drink
and administer justice and righteousness?^(C)
Then it went well with him.
