15“Do you become a king because you are competing in cedar?

Did your father not eat and drink

And do justice and righteousness?

Then it was well for him.

16“He pled the cause of the afflicted and the poor,

Then it was well.

Is that not what it means to know Me?”

Declares the Lord.

17“But your eyes and your heart

Are intent only upon your own dishonest gain,

And on shedding innocent blood,

And on practicing oppression and extortion.”
