『那憑不義而建造自己的房屋，憑不公而建築自己的房頂屋，白白使用人的工，而不給工資的、有禍啊！

那行不义盖房、行不公造楼、白白使用人的手工不给工价的有祸了！

祸哉！那以不公义盖房，以不公平造楼，白白使邻舍做工，却不给工钱的人，

祸哉！那以不公义盖房，以不公平造楼，白白使邻舍做工，却不给工钱的人，

耶和华说：“约西亚的儿子犹大王约雅敬啊，你有祸了！你以不公不义的手段建造宫廷殿宇，不给工人发工钱。

“用不义的手段建造自己房屋、用不公正的方法建筑自己楼房的，有祸了！他使自己的同胞白白作工，不把工资付给他们。

“用不義的手段建造自己房屋、用不公正的方法建築自己樓房的，有禍了！他使自己的同胞白白作工，不把工資付給他們。

以非義建第、以不公築室、役人而不給值、其人禍矣、

人以非義之利、建造宅第、用人之力、不償其工者、禍必不遠、

行不義而建宮、行不公而造樓、徒用人力、不償工值者、斯人必禍、

“ Woe to him who builds his palace by unrighteousness, his upper rooms by injustice, making his own people work for nothing, not paying them for their labor.

The Lord says,“ How terrible it will be for King Jehoiakim! He builds his palace by mistreating his people. He builds its upstairs rooms with money gained by sinning. He makes his own people work for nothing. He does not pay them for what they do.

“ Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his upper rooms by injustice, who makes his neighbor serve him for nothing and does not give him his wages,

And the Lord says,“ What sorrow awaits Jehoiakim, who builds his palace with forced labor. He builds injustice into its walls, for he makes his neighbors work for nothing. He does not pay them for their labor.

Woe for the one who builds his palace through unrighteousness, his upstairs rooms through injustice, who makes his neighbor serve without pay and will not give him his wages,

“ Woe to him who builds his house without righteousness, And his upstairs rooms without justice, Who uses his neighbor’s services without pay And does not give him his wages,

“ Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness And his chambers by injustice, Who uses his neighbor’s service without wages And gives him nothing for his work,

Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by injustice; that useth his neighbor’s service without wages, and giveth him not his hire;

Woe for the one who builds his palace through unrighteousness, his upper rooms through injustice, who makes his fellow man serve without pay and will not give him his wages,

Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong;[ that] useth his neighbour’s service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;

“‘ Sure to be judged is the king who builds his palace using injustice and treats people unfairly while adding its upper rooms. He makes his countrymen work for him for nothing. He does not pay them for their labor.

“ Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his rooms by injustice; who uses his neighbor’s service without wages, and doesn’t give him his hire;

『不可欺壓你的鄰舍，也不可搶奪他的東西；雇工人的工錢不可在你那裏過夜到早晨。

以人血建造錫安，以罪孽建築耶路撒冷的。

看哪、那些割你們田地的工人、他們被你們詐欠的工錢正喊叫呢；那些收割之人的哀呼聲已經入了萬軍之主的耳中了。

『困苦貧窮的雇工、無論是你的族弟兄、或是寄居在你的地你的城內的、你都不可欺壓他。你要當天發給他工價，不可等到日落才給他——因為他貧困，他心直掛念着那工錢——恐怕他呼求永恆主而控告你，你就有了罪。

為自己的家積蓄着不義的臭錢，去在高處搭窩，指望着安穩、免受災禍之掌握的、有禍啊！你剪除掉許多外族之民，圖謀使你的家蒙羞，而賠上你自己的性命。牆裏的石頭必哀呼，木寮中的椽子必應聲的。

窮人赤身無衣地流浪；食而不飽地扛抬禾捆；在惡人的橄欖樹行列間榨油，踹酒池，還覺得口渴。

銀子金子約雅敬倒是給了法老了、不過是照法老所吩咐的向猶大地徵取，叫人給銀子的：他按着各人、被估定的稅額向猶大地人民徵討金銀去給法老尼哥。約雅敬登極的時候二十五歲；他在耶路撒冷作王十一年。他母親名叫西布大，是魯瑪人毘大雅的女兒。約雅敬行永恆主所看為壞的事，像他列祖一切所行的。

萬軍之永恆主說：『我必走近你們來行審判；我必做個敏捷果決的見證、來警戒行邪術的、犯姦淫的、起假誓的、在工價上欺壓雇工人的、欺壓寡婦孤兒的、屈枉寄居的；而他們竟不畏懼我。

埃及王尼哥立了約哈斯的兄弟以利雅敬作王來管理猶大和耶路撒冷，給他改名叫約雅敬。尼哥又將約雅敬的兄弟約哈斯帶到埃及去。

因此永恆主論猶大王約西亞的兒子約雅敬、是這麼說的：『人必不為他舉哀，好像人舉哀說：「哀啊，我哥哥！」「哀啊，我姐姐！」人必不為他舉哀，好像人舉哀說：「哀啊，主上啊！」「哀啊，陛下呀！」
