Jeremiah 22:15-17 NIV

[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, so all went well with him. [16] He defended the cause of the poor and needy, and so all went well. Is that not what it means to know me?” declares the LORD. [17] “But your eyes and your heart are set only on dishonest gain, on shedding innocent blood and on oppression and extortion.”
