12. but will die in the place where they have led him captive and will see this land no more.
13. Woe to him who builds his house with unrighteousnessand his chambers with injustice,who uses his neighbor’s services without wages,and gives him nothing for his work,
14. who says, “I will build myself a roomy houseand large chambers,”and cuts out its windows,paneling it with cedarand painting it with vermilion.
15. Do you reignbecause you compete in cedar?Did not your father eat and drinkand 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.Is not this what it means to know Me?says the Lord.
