Jeremiah 13:7

13:7 So I went to Perath and dug up ¹  the shorts from the place where I had buried them. I found ²  that they were ruined; they were good for nothing.

Jeremiah 22:13

Judgment on Jehoiakim

22:13 “‘Sure to be judged ³  is the king who builds his palace using injustice

and treats people unfairly while adding its upper rooms. ⁴ 

He makes his countrymen work for him for nothing.

He does not pay them for their labor.

[13:7]  ¹ tn Heb “dug and took.”

[13:7]  ² tn Heb “And behold.”

[22:13]  ³ sn Heb “Woe.” This particle is used in laments for the dead (cf., e.g., 1 Kgs 13:30; Jer 34:5) and as an introductory particle in indictments against a person on whom judgment is pronounced (cf., e.g., Isa 5:8, 11; Jer 23:1). The indictment is found here in vv. 13-17 and the announcement of judgment in vv. 18-19.

[22:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “Woe to the one who builds his house by unrighteousness and its upper rooms with injustice using his neighbor [= countryman] as a slave for nothing and not giving to him his wages.”
