Jeremiah 22:12-14
Common English Bible
12 He will die where he’s been exiled and never see this land again.
13 How terrible for Jehoiakim, who builds his house with corruption
and his upper chambers with injustice,
working his countrymen for nothing,
refusing to give them their wages.
14 He says, “I’ll build myself a grand palace,
with huge upper chambers,
ornate windows,
cedar paneling,
and rich red decor.”
Jeremiah 22:12-14
English Standard Version
12 but (A)in the place where they have carried him captive, there shall he die, and he shall never see this land again.”
13 (B)“Woe to him who builds his house by (C)unrighteousness,
and his upper rooms by injustice,
(D)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 (E)painting it with vermilion.
