Jeremiah 22:15-17
New Catholic Bible
15 Are you any better a king
because your cedar is so splendid?
Did not your father have enough to eat and drink?
But because he did what was right and just,
all went well with him.
16 Because he dispensed justice to the poor and needy
things continued to go well for him.
Is this not what it means to know me?
asks the Lord.
17 But your eyes and your heart
are concerned only with your own interests;
you do not hesitate to shed innocent blood
and to perpetrate oppression and violence.
Jeremiah 22:15-17
New International Version
15 “Does it make you a king
to have more and more cedar?
Did not your father have food and drink?
He did what was right and just,(A)
so all went well(B) with him.
16 He defended the cause of the poor and needy,(C)
and so all went well.
Is that not what it means to know(D) me?”
declares the Lord.
17 “But your eyes and your heart
are set only on dishonest gain,(E)
on shedding innocent blood(F)
and on oppression and extortion.”(G)
