Jeremiah 22:15-17

Jeremiah 22:15-17 NIRV

“Jehoiakim, does having more and more cedar boards make you a king? Your father Josiah had enough to eat and drink. He did what was right and fair. So everything went well with him. He stood up for those who were poor or needy. So everything went well with him. That is what it means to know me,” announces the LORD. “Jehoiakim, the only thing on your mind is to get rich by cheating others. You would even kill people who are not guilty of doing anything wrong. You would mistreat them. You would take everything they own.”
