Jeremiah 22:13-17
English Standard Version
13 (A)“Woe to him who builds his house by (B)unrighteousness,
and his upper rooms by injustice,
(C)who makes his neighbor serve him for nothing
and does not give him his wages,
14 who says, ‘I will build myself a great house
with spacious upper rooms,’
who cuts out windows for it,
paneling it with cedar
and (D)painting it with vermilion.
15 Do you think you are a king
because you compete in cedar?
Did not your father eat and drink
and (E)do justice and righteousness?
(F)Then it was well with him.
16 (G)He judged the cause of the poor and needy;
(H)then it was well.
Is not this (I)to know me?
declares the Lord.
17 But you have eyes and heart
only for your dishonest gain,
(J)for shedding innocent blood,
and for practicing oppression and violence.”

shall he set up its gates.”

Genesis 4:11-17
English Standard Version
11 And now (A)you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. 12 When you work the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.” 13 Cain said to the Lord, “My (B)punishment is greater than I can bear.[a] 14 Behold, (C)you have driven me today away from the ground, and (D)from your face I shall be hidden. I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, (E)and whoever finds me will kill me.” 15 Then the Lord said to him, “Not so! If anyone kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him (F)sevenfold.” And the Lord (G)put a mark on Cain, lest any who found him should attack him. 16 Then Cain went away from the presence of the Lord and settled in the land of Nod,[b] east of Eden.
17 Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. When he built a city, he called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch.
