14. Who is saying, `I build for myself a large house, And airy upper chambers,' And he hath cut out for himself its windows, Ceiled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
15. Dost thou reign, because thou art fretting thyself in cedar? Thy father--did he not eat and drink? Yea, he did judgment and righteousness, Then [it is] well with him.
16. He decided the cause of the poor and needy, Then [it is] well--is it not to know Me? An affirmation of Jehovah.
17. But thine eyes and thy heart are not, Except on thy dishonest gain, And on shedding of innocent blood, And on oppression, and on doing of violence.
18. Therefore, thus said Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: They do not lament for him, Ah, my brother, and Ah, sister, They do not lament for him, Ah, lord, and Ah, his honour.
