Jeremiah 22:13-15

13 ^l“Woe to him who builds his house by ^munrighteousness,
and his upper rooms by injustice,
ⁿwho makes his neighbor serve him for nothing
and does not give him his wages,
14 who says, ‘I will build myself a great house
with spacious upper rooms,’
who cuts out windows for it,
paneling it with cedar
and ^opainting it with vermilion.
15 Do you think you are a king
because you compete in cedar?
Did not your father eat and drink
and ^pdo justice and righteousness?
^qThen it was well with him.
