Jeremiah 22:14-16

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁴ who says, “I will build myself a spacious house
    with large upper rooms,”
and who cuts out windows^[a] for it,
    paneling it with cedar
    and painting it with vermilion.^(A)
15 Are you a king
    because you compete in cedar?
Did not your father eat and drink
    and do justice and righteousness?
    Then it was well with him.^(B)
16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy;
    then it was well.
Is not this to know me?
    says the Lord.^(C)
