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.

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;

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.

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,

13 “How terrible it will be for one who builds his palace by doing evil,

who cheats people so he can build its upper rooms.

He makes his own people work for nothing

and does not pay them.

13 Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by injustice; that useth his neighbor’s service without wages, and giveth him not his hire;

13 Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his upper chambers by injustice; that taketh his neighbour’s service without wages, and giveth him not his earning;

13 “How horrible it will be for the person who builds his house dishonestly 

and his upper rooms through injustice. 

He makes his neighbors work for nothing 

and doesn’t pay them for their work. 

13 Woe for the one who builds his palace

through unrighteousness,

his upper rooms through injustice,

who makes his fellow man serve without pay

and will not give him his wages,

13 Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness,

and his upper rooms by injustice;

who makes his neighbors work for nothing,

and does not give them their wages;

13 Woe to the one who builds his house without righteousness,

and his upper rooms without justice.

His fellow countryman, he works for nothing,

and he does not give to him his wages.

13 The Lord says, “How terrible it will be for King Jehoiakim!

He builds his palace

by mistreating his people.

He builds its upstairs rooms

with money that was gained by sinning.

He makes his own people work for nothing.

He does not pay them for what they do.

13 “Woe to him who builds his house without righteousness

And his upper rooms without justice,

Who uses his neighbor’s services without pay

And does not give him his wages,
