Jeremiah 22:15-17 Shalt thou reign, because thou comparest thyself to the cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and it was then well with him?

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Shalt thou reign, because thou comparest thyself to the cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and it was then well with him? ¹⁶ He judged the cause of the poor and needy for his own good: was it not therefore because he knew me, saith the Lord? ¹⁷ But thy eyes and thy heart are set upon covetousness, and upon shedding innocent blood, and upon oppression, and running after evil works.
