Jeremiah 22:13-17
13“WoeH1945 to him who buildsH1129 his palaceH1004 byH3808 unrighteousnessH6664, and his upper roomsH5944 withoutH3808 justiceH4639, who makes his countrymenH7453 serveH5647 without payH2600, and failsH3808 to payH5414 their wagesH6467,14who saysH559, ‘I will buildH1129 myself a greatH4060 palaceH1004, with spaciousH7304 upper roomsH5944.’ So he cutsH7167 windowsH2474 in it, panels itH5603 with cedarH730, and paints itH4886 with vermilionH8350.
15Does it make you a kingH4427H3588 to excelH84741 in cedarH730?Did notH3808 your fatherH1 have foodH398 and drinkH8354?He administeredH6213 justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666,and soH227 it went wellH2896 with him.16He took upH1777 the causeH1779 of the poorH6041 and needyH34,and soH227 it went wellH2896 with him.Is thisH1931 notH3808 what it means to knowH1847 MeH853?”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.17“ButH3588 your eyesH5869 and heartH3820 are set on nothingH369exceptH3588H518H5921 your own dishonest gainH1215,on sheddingH8210H5921 innocentH5355 bloodH1818,on practicingH6213 extortionH6233 andH5921 oppressionH4835.”
