Nebuchadnezzar’s Humiliation
28 All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar. 29 At the end of the twelve months he was walking [b]about the royal palace of Babylon. 30 The king (D)spoke, saying, “Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for a royal dwelling by my mighty power and for the honor of my majesty?”
31 (E)While the word was still in the king’s mouth, (F)a voice fell from heaven: “King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: the kingdom has departed from you!

13 “Woe(A) to him who builds his house by unrighteousness
And his [a]chambers by injustice,
(B)Who uses his neighbor’s service without wages
And gives him nothing for his work,
14 Who says, ‘I will build myself a wide house with spacious [b]chambers,
And cut out windows for it,
Paneling it with cedar
And painting it with vermilion.’
15 “Shall you reign because you enclose yourself in cedar?
Did not your father eat and drink,
And do justice and righteousness?
Then (C)it was well with him.
16 He [c]judged the cause of the poor and needy;
Then it was well.
Was not this knowing Me?” says the Lord.
17 “Yet(D) your eyes and your heart are for nothing but your covetousness,
For shedding innocent blood,
And practicing oppression and violence.”

his upper rooms by injustice,
making his own people work for nothing,
not paying(C) them for their labor.

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.

are set only on dishonest gain,(K)
on shedding innocent blood(L)

11 So now (A)you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12 When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you. A fugitive and a vagabond you shall be on the earth.”
13 And Cain said to the Lord, “My [a]punishment is greater than I can bear! 14 Surely You have driven me out this day from the face of the ground; (B)I shall be (C)hidden from Your face; I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth, and it will happen that (D)anyone who finds me will kill me.”
15 And the Lord said to him, [b]“Therefore, whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him (E)sevenfold.” And the Lord set a (F)mark on Cain, lest anyone finding him should kill him.

15 But the Lord said to him, “Not so[a]; anyone who kills Cain(H) will suffer vengeance(I) seven times over.(J)” Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. 16 So Cain went out from the Lord’s presence(K) and lived in the land of Nod,[b] east of Eden.(L)
