Jeremiah 22:15-16

Message to the Sons of Josiah

¹⁵ Do you think you are a king
because you compete in cedar?
Did not your father eat and drink
and _r do justice and righteousness?
_s Then it was well with him.
¹⁶ _t He judged the cause of the poor and needy;
_s then it was well.
Is not this _u to know me?
declares the Lord.
