- તું દેવદાર વૃક્ષના મહેલો બાંધીને સિદ્ધિ મેળવવા ઇચ્છે છે એથી શું તારું રાજ્ય ટકશે? શું તારા પિતાએ ખાધુંપીધું નહોતું અને નીતિ તથા તે ન્યાયથી વ્યવહાર કરતો નહોતો? તેથી જ તે સુખી થયો.
- हिन्दी — यिर्मयाह २२:१५
- तू जो देवदार की लकड़ी का अभिलाषी है, क्या इस रीति से तेरा राज्य स्थिर रहेगा। देख, तेरा पिता न्याय और धार्मिकता के काम करता था, और वह खाता पीता और सुख से भी रहता था!
In context
13“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;
14who says, ‘I will build myself a wide house and spacious rooms,’ and cuts out windows for himself, with a cedar ceiling, and painted with red.
15“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.

17But your eyes and your heart are only for your covetousness, for shedding innocent blood, for oppression, and for doing violence.”
