Jeremiah 22:15-17
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
15 Are you a king
because you compete in cedar?
Did not your 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.
Is not this to know me?
says the Lord.
17 But your eyes and heart
are only on your dishonest gain,
for shedding innocent blood,
and for practising 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)
