Jeremiah 22:15
Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?
KJV
Numquid regnabis quoniam confers te cedro ? pater tuus numquid non comedit et bibit, et fecit judicium et justitiam tunc cum bene erat ei ?
Vulgate
μὴ βασιλεύσεις, ὅτι σὺ παροξύνῃ ἐν Ἀχὰζ τῷ πατρί σου; οὐ φάγονται καὶ οὐ πίονται· βέλτιόν σε ποιεῖν κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην.
LXX
Shalt thou reign, because thou strivest to excel in cedar? Did not thy father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? then it was well with him.
