Yirmeyah 22:12-15 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

12. But he shall die in the makom where they have led him captive [into the Golus], and he shall see HaAretz Hazot no more.

13. Woe unto him that buildeth his bais but not by tzedek (righteousness), and his aliyyot (upper chambers) but not by mishpat; that useth his neighbor's service without wages, and giveth him no pay for his work;

14. That saith, I will build me a large bais (mansion) and spacious aliyyot (upper rooms), and cutteth him out chalonot (windows); and panel it with erez (cedar), and paint with bright red.

15. Shalt thou reign, because thou enclose thyself in erez (cedar)? Did not Avicha eat and drink, and do mishpat and tzedakah, and then it was tov (well) with him?
