Jeremiah 22:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ Who saith: I will build me a wide house and large chambers: who openeth to himself windows, and maketh roofs of cedar, and painteth them with vermilion.

¹⁵ Shalt thou reign, because thou comparest thyself to the cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and it was then well with him?

¹⁶ He judged the cause of the poor and needy for his own good: was it not therefore because he knew me, saith the Lord?
