Jeremiah 22:13-23

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!’19He will be 18buriedH6912 with a donkey’sH2543 burialH6900, DraggedH5498 off and thrownH7993 out beyondH4480H1973 the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389.20GoH5927 up to LebanonH3844 and cryH6817 out, And liftH5414 up your voiceH6963 in BashanH1316; CryH6817 out also from 19AbarimH5682, For allH3605 your 20loversH157 have been crushedH7665.21I spokeH1696 to you in your prosperityH7962; But 21you saidH559, ‘I will not listenH8085!’ 22ThisH2088 has been your practiceH1870 23from your youthH5271, That you have not obeyedH8085 My voiceH6963.22The windH7307 will sweepH7462 awayH7462 allH3605 your 24shepherdsH7462, And your 25loversH157 will goH1980 into captivityH7628; ThenH227 you will surelyH3588 be 26ashamedH954 and humiliatedH3637 BecauseH4480 of allH3605 your wickednessH7463.23You who dwellH3427 in LebanonH3844, NestedH7077 in the cedarsH730, HowH4100 you will groanH2603 when pangsH2256 comeH935 upon you, 27PainH2427 like a woman in childbirthH3205!
