Jeremiah 22:14 in Context — Jeremiah 22

12 Mais il mourra dans le lieu où on l’emmène captif, Et il ne verra plus ce pays.

13 Malheur à celui qui bâtit sa maison par l’injustice, Et ses chambres par l’iniquité; Qui fait travailler son prochain sans le payer, Sans lui donner son salaire;

14 Qui dit: Je me bâtirai une maison vaste, Et des chambres spacieuses; Et qui s’y fait percer des fenêtres, La lambrisse de cèdre, Et la peint en couleur rouge!

15 Est-ce que tu règnes, parce que tu as de la passion pour le cèdre? Ton père ne mangeait-il pas, ne buvait-il pas? Mais il pratiquait la justice et l’équité, Et il fut heureux;

16 Il jugeait la cause du pauvre et de l’indigent, Et il fut heureux. N’est-ce pas là me connaître? Dit l’Éternel.
