Parallel JER 22:15

---

OEB Do great cedar palaces make thee a king?
 ⇔ Did not thy father eat and drink,
 ⇔ And enjoy his measure of good things?
 ⇔ Yet justice and right did he also dispense

WEBBE  ⇔ “Should you reign because you strive to excel in cedar?
 ⇔ Didn’t your father eat and drink,
 ⇔ and do justice and righteousness?
 ⇔ Then it was well with him.

WMBB (Same as above)

NET Does it make you any more of a king
 ⇔ that you outstrip everyone else in building with cedar?
 ⇔ Just think about your father.
 ⇔ He was content that he had food and drink.
 ⇔ He did what was just and right.
 ⇔ So things went well with him.

LSV Do you reign, because you are fretting yourself in cedar? Your father—did he not eat and drink? Indeed, he did judgment and righteousness,
Then [it is] well with him.

FBV Does it make you a king just because you have more cedar than anyone else? Your father had food and drink, didn't he? He ruled fairly and honestly, and he had a good life because of this.

T4T  ⇔ But it is certainly not [RHQ] having a beautiful cedar palace that causes a king to be great!
 ⇔ Jehoiakim’s father, Josiah, also had [RHQ] plenty of things to eat and drink.
 ⇔ But Josiah always did things that are right and just,
 ⇔ and that is why God blessed him.

BBE Are you to be a king because you make more use of cedar than your father? did not your father take food and drink and do right, judging in righteousness, and then it was well for him?
