Jeremiah 22:12 (WEB)
Context Reading
10Don’t weep for the dead.Don’t bemoan him;but weep bitterly for him who goes away,for he will return no more,and not see his native country. 11For Yahweh says touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who went out of this place: “He won’t return there any more. 12But he will die in the place where they have led him captive. He will see this land no more.” 13“Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness,and his rooms by injustice;who uses his neighbor’s service without wages,and doesn’t give him his hire; 14who says, ‘I will build myself a wide house and spacious rooms,’and cuts out windows for himself,with a cedar ceiling,and painted with red.
