Jeremiah 22:12-14
Expanded Bible
12 He will die where he has been taken ·captive [into exile], and he will not see this land again.”
Judgment Against Jehoiakim
13 “·How terrible it will be for one [Woe to the one; C King Jehoiakim (605–597 bc), placed on the throne by the Egyptian pharaoh to replace his brother Jehoahaz; 2 Kin. 23:34] who builds his ·palace [L house] by ·doing evil [L unrighteousness],
·who cheats people so he can build its upper rooms [his upper rooms without justice].
He makes his ·own people [L neighbors] work for nothing
and does not pay them.
14 He says, ‘I will build a ·great palace [L spacious house] for myself
with large upper rooms.’
So he ·builds it with [cuts out] large windows
and uses cedar wood for the ·walls [panels],
which he paints ·red [vermilion].

12 He will die(A) in the place where they have led him captive; he will not see this land again.”
13 “Woe(B) to him who builds(C) his palace by unrighteousness,
his upper rooms by injustice,
making his own people work for nothing,
not paying(D) them for their labor.

with spacious upper rooms.’
So he makes large windows in it,
panels it with cedar(F)
and decorates it in red.(G)
