15 "Does it make you a king to have more and more cedar? Did not your father have food and drink? He did what was right and just,¹ so all went well² with him. 16 He defended the cause of the poor and needy,³ and so all went well. Is that not what it means to know⁴ me?" declares the LORD. 17 "But your eyes and your heart are set only on dishonest gain,⁵ on shedding innocent blood⁶ and on oppression and extortion."⁷
