Jeremiah 22:15
King James Version
Translation: KJV
13Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour’s service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;Select Jeremiah 22:13
14That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is cieled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.Select Jeremiah 22:14
15Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?Select Jeremiah 22:15
16He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the Lord.Select Jeremiah 22:16
17But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.Select Jeremiah 22:17
