Jeremiah 22:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

‘Terrible trouble will happen to this man!
He cheats people
    so that he can build a beautiful palace for himself.
He does not do what is right and fair.
He does not pay the people who work for him.
    His own men have to work for nothing.
¹⁴ He says, “I will build a great palace for myself.
    It will have large rooms upstairs.”
He puts windows in its walls.
    He covers the walls with cedar wood.
    He uses red paint to make it beautiful.
