Jeremiah 22:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy [a]father eat and drink and prosper, when he executed judgment and justice?
16 When he judged the cause of the afflicted and the poor, he prospered: was not this because he knew me, saith the Lord?
17 But thine eyes and thine heart are but only for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for destruction, even to do this.
