Jeremiah 22:13-15

Jeremiah 22:13-15 CSB

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