Jeremiah 22:15-17

Contemporary English Version

¹⁵ More cedar in your palace
doesn't make you a better king
    than your father Josiah.
He always did right—
he gave justice to the poor
    and was honest.
¹⁶ That's what it means
    to truly know me.
So he lived a comfortable life
and always had enough
    to eat and drink.
