14 Who says, ‘I will (A)build myself a roomy house
With spacious [a]upper rooms
And cut out its windows,
[b]Paneling it with (B)cedar and painting it [c]bright red.’
15 Do you become a king because you are competing in cedar?
Did not your father eat and drink
And (C)do justice and righteousness?
Then it was (D)well with him.
16 He pled the cause of the (E)afflicted and needy;
Then it was well.
(F)Is not that what it means to know Me?”
Declares Yahweh.
