Jeremiah 22:15-17
American Standard Version
15 Shalt thou reign, because thou [a]strivest to excel in cedar? Did not thy father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? then it was well with him. 16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Was not this to know me? saith Jehovah. 17 But thine eyes and thy heart are not but for thy [b]covetousness, and for shedding innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.
