Jeremiah 22:13-17
New International Version
13 “Woe(A) to him who builds(B) his palace by unrighteousness,
his upper rooms by injustice,
making his own people work for nothing,
not paying(C) them for their labor.
14 He says, ‘I will build myself a great palace(D)
with spacious upper rooms.’
So he makes large windows in it,
panels it with cedar(E)
and decorates it in red.(F)
15 “Does it make you a king
to have more and more cedar?
Did not your father have food and drink?
He did what was right and just,(G)
so all went well(H) with him.
16 He defended the cause of the poor and needy,(I)
and so all went well.
Is that not what it means to know(J) me?”
declares the Lord.
17 “But your eyes and your heart
are set only on dishonest gain,(K)
on shedding innocent blood(L)
and on oppression and extortion.”(M)

King James Version
Jeremiah 22:13-17
King James Version
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.
