Jeremiah 22:13-20 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

13. Woe unto him that builds his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that uses his neighbor's service without wages, and gives him nothing for his work;

14. That says, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cuts him out windows for it; and it is paneled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.

15. Shall you reign, because you enclose yourself in cedar? did not your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness, 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?

17. But your eyes and your heart are for nothing but for your covetousness, and for shedding innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.

18. Therefore thus says the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah;

19. He shall be buried with the burial of a donkey, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.

20. Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up your voice in Bashan, and cry from the passes: for all your lovers are destroyed.
