Jeremiah 22:13-18

13WoeH1945 unto him that buildethH1129 his houseH1004 byH3808 unrighteousnessH6664, and his chambersH5944 by wrongH4941; that useth his neighbour’sH7453 serviceH5647 without wagesH2600, and givethH5414 him not for his workH6467; 14That saithH559, I will buildH1129 me a wideH4060 houseH1004 and largeH7304 chambersH5944, and cutteth him outH7167 windowsH2474; and it is cieledH5603 with cedarH730, and paintedH4886 with vermilionH8350.12 15Shalt thou reignH4427, because thou closestH8474 thyself in cedarH730? did not thy fatherH1 eatH398 and drinkH8354, and doH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666, and then it was wellH2896 with him? 16He judgedH1777 the causeH1779 of the poorH6041 and needyH34; then it was wellH2896 with him: was not this to knowH1847 me? saithH5002 YhwhH3068. 17But thine eyesH5869 and thine heartH3820 are not but for thy covetousnessH1215, and for to shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818, and for oppressionH6233, and for violenceH4835, to doH6213 it.3 18Therefore thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 concerning JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; They shall not lamentH5594 for him, saying, AhH1945 my brotherH251! or, AhH1945 sisterH269! they shall not lamentH5594 for him, saying, AhH1945 lordH113! or, AhH1945 his gloryH1935!
