Jeremiah 22:13-15 Alas! for him who buildeth, His house without righteousness, And his roof–chambers without justice,––Of his neighbour, taketh service for nought, And, recompense for his work, giveth him not.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Alas! for him who buildeth, His house without righteousness, And his roof–chambers without justice,––Of his neighbour, taketh service for nought, And, recompense for his work, giveth him not. ¹⁴ Who saith––I will build me a roomy house, with spacious roof–chambers,––So he cutteth him open its windows, And it is covered in with cedar, And he painteth it with vermilion. ¹⁵ Shalt thou reign, because, thou, art eager to excel in cedar? Thy father, did he not eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness, And, then, it was well with him?
