Jeremiah 22:13-15

New American Standard Bible

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.
