Jeremiah 22:15-17
Tree of Life Version
Jeremiah 22:15-17
Tree of Life Version
15 Did you become king
just to be striving with cedar?
Did your father not eat and drink,
and do justice and righteousness?
Then it went well with him.
16 He pled the case of the poor and weak,
so it went well.
Is not this knowledge of Me?”
It is a declaration of Adonai.
17 “But your eyes and your heart
are only on your unjust gain,
and on shedding innocent blood,
and committing extortion and fraud.”
Jeremiah 22:15-17
New International Version
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)
