Jeremiah 22:15-17

English Standard Version

¹⁵ Do you think you are a king
    because you compete in cedar?
Did not your father eat and drink
    and ^(A)do justice and righteousness?
    ^(B)Then it was well with him.
^16 (C)He judged the cause of the poor and needy;
    ^(D)then it was well.
Is not this ^(E)to know me?
    declares the Lord.
¹⁷ But you have eyes and heart
    only for your dishonest gain,
^(F)for shedding innocent blood,
    and for practicing oppression and violence.”
