Jeremiah 22:14-16
New King James Version
14 Who says, ‘I will build myself a wide house with spacious [a]chambers,
And cut out windows for it,
Paneling it with cedar
And painting it with vermilion.’
15 “Shall you reign because you enclose yourself in cedar?
Did not your father eat and drink,
And do justice and righteousness?
Then (A)it was well with him.
16 He [b]judged the cause of the poor and needy;
Then it was well.
Was not this knowing Me?” says the Lord.

28 (D)Also Solomon had horses imported from Egypt and Keveh; the king’s merchants bought them in Keveh at the current price. 29 Now a chariot that was imported from Egypt cost six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse one hundred and fifty; (E)and [b]thus, through their agents, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria.
