Jeremiah22:15
Shalt thou reign because thou closest thy self in Cedar ? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him ?
Art thou so vain as to think that brave Houses will continue thy Kingdom? Thou art mistaken, magnificent buildings are not those things which establish a Princes Throne.
How was it with thy Father? He lived prosperously yet had no such stately Edifices, his Throne was established by Justice, and Judgment, that were the right way for thee to sit sure upon thy Throne.
