NASB
""He pled the cause of the afflicted and needy; Then it was well. Is not that what it means to know Me?" Declares the LORD."
— Jeremiah 22:16, NASB
“He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the Lord.”
“He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Was not this to know me? saith Jehovah. ”
“He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Wasn't this to know me? says Yahweh.”
“He upheld the cause of the poor and needy. So things went well for Judah.’ The LORD says,‘That is a good example of what it means to know me.’”
“He judged the cause of the poor and needy for his own good: was it not therefore because he knew me, saith the Lord?”
“He was judge in the cause of the poor and those in need; then it was well. Was not this to have knowledge of me? says the Lord.”
“He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the Lord.”
"Woe to him who builds his house without righteousness And his upper rooms without justice, Who uses his neighbor's services without pay And does not give him his wages,
Who says, 'I will build myself a roomy house With spacious upper rooms, And cut out its windows, Paneling it with cedar and painting it bright red.'
"Do you become a king because you are competing in cedar? Did not your father eat and drink And do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him.
"He pled the cause of the afflicted and needy; Then it was well. Is not that what it means to know Me?" Declares the LORD.
"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."
Therefore thus says the LORD in regard to Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, "They will not lament for him: 'Alas, my brother!' or, 'Alas, sister!' They will not lament for him: 'Alas for the master!' or, 'Alas for his splendor!'
"He will be buried with a donkey's burial, Dragged off and thrown out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
