Jeremiah 22:13

Message to the Sons of Josiah

11 For thus says the Lord concerning ^aShallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, ^bwho went from this place: “He shall not return here anymore,

12 but he shall die in the place where they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.

13 “Woe^a to him who builds his house by unrighteousness
And his¹ chambers by injustice,
^bWho uses his neighbor’s service without wages
And gives him nothing for his work,

14 Who says, ‘I will build myself a wide house with spacious¹ chambers,
And cut out windows for it,
Paneling it with cedar
And painting it with vermilion.’

15 “Shall you reign because you enclose yourself in cedar?
Did not your father eat and drink,
And do justice and righteousness?
Then ^ait was well with him.

16 He¹ judged the cause of the poor and needy;
Then it was well.
Was not this knowing Me?” says the Lord.
