13  xWoe unto yhim that buildeth his house by unrighteousness,

And his zchambers by wrong;

aThat useth his neighbour’s service bwithout wages,

And giveth him not for his work;

14  That saith, I will build me a wide house and †large zchambers,

And cutteth him out ||windows;

And it is ccieled with cedar, and painted dwith vermilion.

15  Shalt thou reign, because thou eclosest thyself in cedar?

Did not thy father eat and drink,

And fdo judgment and justice,

And then git was well with him?

16  He judged hthe cause of the poor and needy; then git was well with him:

Was not this ito know me? saith the Lord.

17  jBut thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy kcovetousness,

And jfor to shed innocent blood,

And jlfor oppression, and for ||violence, to do it.

18  Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning mJehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah;

n*They shall not lament for him, saying, oAh my brother! or, Ah sister!

They shall not lament for him, saying, pAh lord! or, Ah his glory!

19  He shall be buried with the burial of an ass,

qDrawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.

20  *Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan,

And cry from rthe passages:

For all sthy lovers are destroyed.

21  I spake unto thee in thy †prosperity;

But thou saidst, I will not hear.

This hath been thy manner tfrom thy youth,

uThat thou obeyedst not my voice.

22  The wind shall eat up all vthy pastors,

And sthy lovers shall go into captivity:

Surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.

23  O †inhabitant of wLebanon, xthat makest thy nest in the cedars,

How gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee,

yThe pain as of a woman in travail!
