“ 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;

「不可欺壓你的鄰舍，也不可偷盜。雇工的工錢不可在你那裏過夜，留到早晨。

以血建立錫安，以罪孽建造耶路撒冷。

工人給你們收割莊稼，你們剋扣他們的工錢；這工錢在喊冤，而且收割工人的冤聲已經進入萬軍之主的耳朵了。

「困苦貧窮的雇工，無論是你的弟兄，或是住在你境內，在你城裏寄居的，你都不可欺負他。要當日給他工錢，不可等到日落，因為他困苦，需要靠工錢過活，免得他因你的緣故求告耶和華，罪就歸於你了。

禍哉！那為本家積蓄不義之財、在高處搭窩、指望得免災禍的人！你圖謀剪除許多民族，犯了罪，使自己的家蒙羞，自害己命。牆裏的石頭要呼叫，屋內的棟梁必應聲。

困苦人赤身無衣，到處流浪，餓着肚子扛抬禾捆，他們在圍牆內榨油，踹壓酒池，自己卻口渴。

萬軍之耶和華說：「我必臨近你們，施行審判。我必速速作見證，警戒那些行邪術的、犯姦淫的、起假誓的、剝削雇工工錢的、欺壓孤兒寡婦的、屈枉寄居者的和不敬畏我的人。」

埃及王尼哥立約哈斯的哥哥以利雅敬作猶大和耶路撒冷的王，給他改名叫約雅敬。尼哥卻將他的弟弟約哈斯帶到埃及去。

所以，耶和華論到約西亞的兒子猶大王約雅敬如此說：人必不為他舉哀：「哀哉，我的哥哥！哀哉，我的姊姊！」也不為他舉哀：「哀哉，我的主！哀哉，我主的榮華！」
