Jeremiah 22:13-18

13“WoeH1945 to him who buildsH1129 his houseH1004 1withoutH3808 righteousnessH6664 And his 2upperH5944 roomsH5944 withoutH3808 justiceH4941, Who usesH5647 his neighbor’sH7453 servicesH5647 withoutH2600 payH2600 And 3does not giveH5414 him his wagesH6467,14Who saysH559, ‘I will 4buildH1129 myself a roomyH4060 houseH1004 With spaciousH7304 5upperH5944 roomsH5944, And cutH7167 out its windowsH2474, 6PanelingH5603 it with 7cedarH730 and paintingH4886 it 8brightH8350 redH8350.’15Do you becomeH4427 a kingH4427 becauseH3588 you are competingH2734 in cedarH730? Did not your fatherH1 eatH398 and drinkH8354 And 9doH6213 justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666? ThenH227 it was 10wellH2895 with him.16He pledH1777 the causeH1779 of the 11afflictedH6041 and needyH34; ThenH227 it was wellH2895. 12Is not that what it means to knowH1847 Me?” DeclaresH5002 the LordH3068.17“But your eyesH5869 and your heartH3820 Are intent onlyH3588H518 upon your own 13dishonestH1215 gainH1215, And on 14sheddingH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 And on practicingH6213 oppressionH6233 and extortionH4835.”

18ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 in regardH413 to 15JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, “They will not 16lamentH5594 for him: ‘17AlasH1945, my brotherH251!’ or, ‘AlasH1945, sisterH269!’ They will not lamentH5594 for him: ‘AlasH1945 for the masterH113!’ or, ‘AlasH1945 for his splendorH1935!’
