Jeremiah 22:13-17

13Oy to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his roof-chambers by injustice, that makes his neighbor work without pay, never giving him his wages,

14who says: “I will build myself a big house with spacious rooms and cut out my windows for it, and panel it with cedar, and paint it with vermilion!

15Did you become king just to be striving with cedar? Did your father not eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? Then it went well with him.

16He pled the case of the poor and weak, so it went well. Is not this knowledge of Me?” It is a declaration of Adonai.

17“But your eyes and your heart are only on your unjust gain, and on shedding innocent blood, and committing extortion and fraud.”
