Jeremiah 22:13-18

Jeremiah 22:13-18

[13] Woe  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;  [14] That 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.  [15] Shalt 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? [16] He judged  the cause  of the poor  and needy;  then it was well  with him: was not this to know  me? saith  the LORD.  [17] But 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. [18] Therefore thus saith  the LORD  concerning Jehoiakim  the son  of Josiah  king  of Judah;  They shall not lament  for him, saying, Ah  my brother!  or, Ah  sister!  they shall not lament  for him, saying, Ah  lord!  or, Ah  his glory!
