Jeremiah 22:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹³ “·How terrible it will be for one [Woe to the one; ^CKing Jehoiakim (605–597 bc), placed on the throne by the Egyptian pharaoh to replace his brother Jehoahaz; 2 Kin. 23:34] who builds his ·palace [^Lhouse] by ·doing evil [^Lunrighteousness],
    ·who cheats people so he can build its upper rooms [his upper rooms without justice].
He makes his ·own people [^Lneighbors] work for nothing
    and does not pay them.
¹⁴ He says, ‘I will build a ·great palace [^Lspacious house] for myself
    with large upper rooms.’
So he ·builds it with [cuts out] large windows
    and uses cedar wood for the ·walls [panels],
    which he paints ·red [vermilion].
