Jeremiah 22:14-16

Holman Christian Standard Bible

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?^(A)
Then it went well with him.
¹⁶ He took up the case of the poor and needy,
then it went well.
Is this not what it means to know Me?
This is the Lord’s declaration.
