Jeremiah 22:13-15

New Catholic Bible

¹³ Woe to the man who builds his house without righteousness
    and his upper room with injustice,
who forces his neighbors to work for nothing
    and gives them no recompense for their labor,
¹⁴ who says, “I will build myself a spacious home
    with large upper rooms,”
and who inserts windows in it,
    panels it with cedar,
    and paints it with vermilion.
¹⁵ Are you any better a king
    because your cedar is so splendid?
Did not your father have enough to eat and drink?
    But because he did what was right and just,
    all went well with him.
