Jeremiah 22:13-15
New Century Version
Judgment Against Jehoiakim
13 “How terrible it will be for one who builds his palace by doing evil,
who cheats people so he can build its upper rooms.
He makes his own people work for nothing
and does not pay them.
14 He says, ‘I will build a great palace for myself
with large upper rooms.’
So he builds it with large windows
and uses cedar wood for the walls,
which he paints red.
15 “Does having a lot of cedar in your house
make you a great king?
Your father was satisfied to have food and drink.
He did what was right and fair,
so everything went well for him.
Jeremiah 22:13-15
New International Version
13 “Woe(A) to him who builds(B) his palace by unrighteousness,
his upper rooms by injustice,
making his own people work for nothing,
not paying(C) them for their labor.
14 He says, ‘I will build myself a great palace(D)
with spacious upper rooms.’
So he makes large windows in it,
panels it with cedar(E)
and decorates it in red.(F)
