Jeremiah 22:13-23

13“WoeH1945 to him who buildsH1129 his houseH1004 1withoutH3808 righteousnessH6664, And his upstairsH5944 roomsH5944 withoutH3808 justiceH4941, Who usesH5647 his neighbor’sH7453 servicesH5647 withoutH2600 payH2600 And 2does not giveH5414 him his wagesH6467,14Who saysH559, ‘I will 3buildH1129 myself a largeH4060 houseH1004 With spaciousH7304 upstairsH5944 roomsH5944, And cutH7167 outH7167 its windowsH2474, 4PanelingH5603 it with 5cedarH730 and paintingH4886 it 6brightH8350 redH8350.’15Do you becomeH4427 aH4427 kingH4427 becauseH3588 you are competingH2734 in cedarH730? Did your fatherH1 not eatH398 and drinkH8354 And 7doH6213 justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666? ThenH227 it was 8wellH2895 for him.16He pledH1777 the causeH1779 of the 9afflictedH6041 and the poorH34, ThenH227 it was wellH2895. 10Is that not what it means to knowH1847 Me?” DeclaresH5002 the LordH3068.17“But your eyesH5869 and your heartH3820 Are intent onlyH3588H518 upon your own 11dishonestH1215 gainH1215, And on 12sheddingH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818, And on practicingH6213 oppressionH6233 and extortionH4835.”

18ThereforeH3651 thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559 regardingH413 13JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977, kingH4428 of JudahH3063: “They will not 14mournH5594 for him: ‘15OhH1945, my brotherH251!’ or, ‘OhH1945, sisterH269!’ They will not mournH5594 for him: ‘OhH1945, for the masterH113!’ or, ‘OhH1945, for his splendorH1935!’19He will be 16buriedH6912 with a donkey’sH2543 burialH6900, DraggedH5498 offH5498 and thrownH7993 outH7993 beyondH4480H1973 the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389.20GoH5927 upH5927 to LebanonH3844 and cryH6817 outH6817, And raiseH5414 your voiceH6963 in BashanH1316; CryH6817 outH6817 also from 17AbarimH5682, For allH3605 your 18loversH157 have been crushedH7665.21I spokeH1696 to you in your prosperityH7962; But 19you saidH559, ‘I will not listenH8085!’ 20ThisH2088 has been your wayH1870 21from your youthH5271, That you have not obeyedH8085 My voiceH6963.22The windH7307 will sweepH7462 awayH7462 allH3605 your 22shepherdsH7462, And your 23loversH157 will goH1980 into captivityH7628; ThenH227 you will certainlyH3588 beH954 24ashamedH954 and humiliatedH3637 BecauseH4480 of allH3605 your wickednessH7463.23You who liveH3427 in LebanonH3844, NestedH7077 in the cedarsH730, HowH4100 you will groanH584 when sharpH2256 painsH2256 comeH935 on you, 25PainH2427 like a woman inH3205 childbirthH3205!
