Jeremiah 22:13-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
13 Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness
and his upper rooms by injustice,
who makes his neighbors work for nothing
and does not give them their wages,(A)
14 who says, “I will build myself a spacious house
with large upper rooms,”
and who cuts out windows[a] for it,
paneling it with cedar
and painting it with vermilion.(B)
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.(C)
16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy;
then it was well.
Is not this to know me?
says the Lord.(D)
17 But your eyes and heart
are only on your dishonest gain,
for shedding innocent blood,
and for practicing oppression and violence.(E)
18 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning King Jehoiakim son of Josiah of Judah:
They shall not lament for him, saying,
“Alas, my brother!” or “Alas, sister!”
They shall not lament for him, saying,
“Alas, lord!” or “Alas, his majesty!”(F)
19 With the burial of a donkey he shall be buried:
dragged off and thrown out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.(G)

Jeremiah 22:13-19
New International Version
13 “Woe(A) to him who builds(B) his palace by unrighteousness,
his upper rooms by injustice,
making his own people work for nothing,
not paying(C) them for their labor.
14 He says, ‘I will build myself a great palace(D)
with spacious upper rooms.’
So he makes large windows in it,
panels it with cedar(E)
and decorates it in red.(F)
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,(G)
so all went well(H) with him.
16 He defended the cause of the poor and needy,(I)
and so all went well.
Is that not what it means to know(J) me?”
declares the Lord.
17 “But your eyes and your heart
are set only on dishonest gain,(K)
on shedding innocent blood(L)
and on oppression and extortion.”(M)
18 Therefore this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:

Jeremiah Dictates Another
27 Now after the king had burned the scroll with the words that Baruch wrote at Jeremiah’s dictation, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah:(A) 28 Take another scroll and write on it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which King Jehoiakim of Judah has burned.(B) 29 And concerning King Jehoiakim of Judah you shall say: Thus says the Lord, You have burned this scroll, saying, “Why have you written in it that the king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land and will cut off from it human beings and animals?”(C) 30 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning King Jehoiakim of Judah: He shall have no one to sit upon the throne of David, and his dead body shall be cast out to the heat by day and the frost by night.(D) 31 And I will punish him and his offspring and his servants for their iniquity; I will bring on them and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem and on the people of Judah all the disasters with which I have threatened them, but they would not listen.(E)
32 Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to the secretary Baruch son of Neriah, who wrote on it at Jeremiah’s dictation all the words of the scroll that King Jehoiakim of Judah had burned in the fire, and many similar words were added to them.

27 After the king burned the scroll containing the words that Baruch had written at Jeremiah’s dictation,(A) the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 28 “Take another scroll(B) and write on it all the words that were on the first scroll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah burned up. 29 Also tell Jehoiakim king of Judah, ‘This is what the Lord says: You burned that scroll and said, “Why did you write on it that the king of Babylon would certainly come and destroy this land and wipe from it(C) both man and beast?”(D) 30 Therefore this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim(E) king of Judah: He will have no one to sit on the throne of David; his body will be thrown out(F) and exposed(G) to the heat by day and the frost by night.(H) 31 I will punish him and his children(I) and his attendants for their wickedness; I will bring on them and those living in Jerusalem and the people of Judah every disaster(J) I pronounced against them, because they have not listened.(K)’”
32 So Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to the scribe Baruch son of Neriah, and as Jeremiah dictated,(L) Baruch wrote(M) on it all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned(N) in the fire. And many similar words were added to them.
