Jeremiah 22:13 - The Message

"Doom to him who builds palaces but bullies people,
   who makes a fine house but destroys lives,
Who cheats his workers
   and won’t pay them for their work,
Who says, ’I’ll build me an elaborate mansion
   with spacious rooms and fancy windows.
I’ll bring in rare and expensive woods
   and the latest in interior decor.’
So, that makes you a king—
   living in a fancy palace?
Your father got along just fine, didn’t he?
   He did what was right and treated people fairly,
And things went well with him.
   He stuck up for the down-and-out,
And things went well for Judah.
   Isn’t this what it means to know me?"
         God’s Decree!
"But you’re blind and brainless.
   All you think about is yourself,
Taking advantage of the weak,
   bulldozing your way, bullying victims."
