Jeremiah 22:13-15

Christian Standard Bible

¹³ Woe for the one who builds his palace
through unrighteousness,^(A)
his upstairs rooms through injustice,
who makes his neighbor serve without pay
and will not give him his wages,^(B)
14 who says, “I will build myself a massive palace,
with spacious upstairs rooms.”
He will cut windows^[a] in it,
and it will be paneled with cedar^(C)
and painted bright red.
¹⁵ Are you a king because you excel in cedar?
Didn’t your father eat and drink
and administer justice and righteousness?^(D)
Then it went well with him.
