Jeremiah 22:15-17

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁵ Shalt thou reign, because thou dost enclose thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink and do judgment and righteousness, and then it was well with him?

¹⁶ He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him. Is this not to know me? said the LORD.

¹⁷ But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness and for to shed innocent blood and for oppression and for violence, to do it.
