Jeremiah 22:13-20
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 22
13
'Woe to him who builds his house without righteousness,
And his upstairs rooms without justice,
Who uses his neighbor’s services without pay
And does not give him his wages,
14
Who says, ‘I will build myself a large house
With spacious upstairs rooms,
And cut out its windows,
Paneling
it
with cedar and painting
it
bright red.’
15
Do you become a king because you are competing in cedar?
Did your father not eat and drink
And do justice and righteousness?
Then it was well for him.
16
He pled the cause of the afflicted and the poor,
Then it was well.
Is that not
what it means
to know Me?'
Declares the
Lord
.
17
'But your eyes and your heart
Are
intent
only upon your own dishonest gain,
And on shedding innocent blood,
And on practicing oppression and extortion.'
18
Therefore this is what the
Lord
says regarding Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:
'They will not mourn for him:
‘Oh, my brother!’ or, ‘Oh, sister!’
They will not mourn for him:
‘Oh, for the master!’ or, ‘Oh, for his splendor!’
19
He will be buried with a donkey’s burial,
Dragged off and thrown out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
20
Go up to Lebanon and cry out,
And raise your voice in Bashan;
Cry out also from Abarim,
For all your lovers have been crushed.
King James Version
Chapter 22
13
Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;
14
That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is cieled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
15
Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?
16
He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the
Lord
.
17
But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.
18
Therefore thus saith the
Lord
concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!
19
He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
20
Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 22
13
Woe for the one who builds his palace
through unrighteousness,
his upstairs rooms through injustice,
who makes his neighbor serve without pay
and will not give him his wages,
14
who says, "I will build myself a massive palace,
with spacious upstairs rooms."
He will cut windows in it,
and it will be paneled with cedar
and painted bright red.
15
Are you a king because you excel in cedar?
Didn’t your father eat and drink
and administer justice and righteousness?
Then it went well with him.
16
He took up the case of the poor and needy;
then it went well.
Is this not what it means to know me? This is the
Lord
’s declaration.
17
But you have eyes and a heart for nothing
except your own dishonest profit,
shedding innocent blood
and committing extortion and oppression.
18
Therefore, this is what the
Lord
says concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah:
They will not mourn for him, saying,
"Woe, my brother!" or "Woe, my sister!"
They will not mourn for him, saying,
"Woe, lord! Woe, his majesty!"
19
He will be buried like a donkey,
dragged off and thrown
outside Jerusalem’s gates.
20
Go up to Lebanon and cry out;
raise your voice in Bashan;
cry out from Abarim,
for all your lovers have been crushed.
New Living Translation
Chapter 22
13
And the
Lord
says, 'What sorrow awaits Jehoiakim,
who builds his palace with forced labor.
He builds injustice into its walls,
for he makes his neighbors work for nothing.
He does not pay them for their labor.
14
He says, ‘I will build a magnificent palace
with huge rooms and many windows.
I will panel it throughout with fragrant cedar
and paint it a lovely red.’
15
But a beautiful cedar palace does not make a great king!
Your father, Josiah, also had plenty to eat and drink.
But he was just and right in all his dealings.
That is why God blessed him.
16
He gave justice and help to the poor and needy,
and everything went well for him.
Isn’t that what it means to know me?'
says the
Lord
.
17
'But you! You have eyes only for greed and dishonesty!
You murder the innocent,
oppress the poor, and reign ruthlessly.'
18
Therefore, this is what the
Lord
says about Jehoiakim, son of King Josiah:
'The people will not mourn for him, crying to one another,
‘Alas, my brother! Alas, my sister!’
His subjects will not mourn for him, crying,
‘Alas, our master is dead! Alas, his splendor is gone!’
19
He will be buried like a dead donkey —
dragged out of Jerusalem and dumped outside the gates!
20
Weep for your allies in Lebanon.
Shout for them in Bashan.
Search for them in the regions east of the river.
See, they are all destroyed.
Not one is left to help you.
English Standard Version
Chapter 22
13
"Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness,
and his upper rooms by injustice,
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 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 do justice and righteousness?
Then it was well with him.
16
He judged the cause of the poor and needy;
then it was well.
Is not this to know me?
declares the
Lord
.
17
But you have eyes and heart
only for your dishonest gain,
for shedding innocent blood,
and for practicing oppression and violence."
18
Therefore thus says the
Lord
concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:
"They shall not lament for him, saying,
‘Ah, my brother!’ or ‘Ah, sister!’
They shall not lament for him, saying,
‘Ah, lord!’ or ‘Ah, his majesty!’
19
With the burial of a donkey he shall be buried,
dragged and dumped beyond the gates of Jerusalem."
20
"Go up to Lebanon, and cry out,
and lift up your voice in Bashan;
cry out from Abarim,
for all your lovers are destroyed.
New International Version
Chapter 22
13
"Woe to him who builds his palace by unrighteousness,
his upper rooms by injustice,
making his own people work for nothing,
not paying them for their labor.
14
He says, ‘I will build myself a great palace
with spacious upper rooms.’
So he makes large windows in it,
panels it with cedar
and decorates it in red.
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,
so all went well with him.
16
He defended the cause of the poor and needy,
and so all went well.
Is that not what it means to know me?"
declares the
Lord
.
17
"But your eyes and your heart
are set only on dishonest gain,
on shedding innocent blood
and on oppression and extortion."
18
Therefore this is what the
Lord
says about Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
"They will not mourn for him:
‘Alas, my brother! Alas, my sister!’
They will not mourn for him:
‘Alas, my master! Alas, his splendor!’
19
He will have the burial of a donkey—
dragged away and thrown
outside the gates of Jerusalem."
20
"Go up to Lebanon and cry out,
let your voice be heard in Bashan,
cry out from Abarim,
for all your allies are crushed.
New King James Version
Chapter 22
13
“Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness
And his chambers by injustice,
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 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
it was
well with him.
16
He judged the cause of the poor and needy;
Then
it was
well.
Was
not this knowing Me?” says the
Lord
.
17
“Yet your eyes and your heart
are
for nothing but your covetousness,
For shedding innocent blood,
And practicing oppression and violence.”
18
Therefore thus says the
Lord
concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:
“They shall not lament for him,
Saying,
‘Alas, my brother!’ or ‘Alas, my sister!’
They shall not lament for him,
Saying,
‘Alas, master!’ or ‘Alas, his glory!’
19
He shall be buried with the burial of a donkey,
Dragged and cast out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
20
“Go up to Lebanon, and cry out,
And lift up your voice in Bashan;
Cry from Abarim,
For all your lovers are destroyed.
