Jeremiah 22:13-23
13WoeH1945 unto him that buildeth his houseH1004 by unrighteousness, and his chambersH5944 by injustice; that useth his neighbor’sH7453 service without wagesH6467, and giveth him not his hire; 14that saith, I will buildH1129 me a wide houseH1004 and spacious chambersH5944, and cutteth him out windowsH2474; and it is ceiled with cedarH730, and painted with vermilionH8350. 15Shalt thou reignH4427, because thou strivest to excel in cedarH730? Did not thy fatherH1 eatH398 and drinkH8354, and do justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666? thenH227 it was well with him. 16He judged the causeH1779 of the poorH6041 and needyH34; thenH227 it was well. Was not this to know me? saith Jehovah. 17But thine eyesH5869 and thy heartH3820 are not but for thy covetousness, and for sheddingH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818, and for oppressionH6233, and for violence, to do it. 18ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith Jehovah concerningH413 JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977, kingH4428 of JudahH3063: they shall not lamentH5594 for him, sayingH559, Ah my brotherH251! or, Ah sisterH269! They shall not lamentH5594 for him, sayingH559 Ah lord! or, Ah his glory! 19He shall be buriedH6912 with the burialH6900 of an ass, drawn and castH7993 forth beyond the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389.
20GoH5927 up to LebanonH3844, and cryH6817; and lift up thy voiceH6963 in BashanH1316, and cryH6817 from AbarimH5682; for all thy loversH157 are destroyed. 21I spake unto thee in thy prosperityH7962; but thou saidst, I will not hearH8085. This hath been thy manner from thy youthH5271, that thou obeyedst not my voiceH6963. 22The windH7307 shall feedH7462 all thy shepherdsH7462, and thy loversH157 shall go into captivityH7628: surely thenH227 shalt thou be ashamedH954 and confounded for all thy wickednessH7451. 23O inhabitantH3427 of LebanonH3844, that makest thy nestH7077 in the cedarsH730, howH4100 greatly to be pitied shalt thou be when pangs comeH935 upon thee, the pain as of a woman in travail!
