Jeremiah 22:15

Amplified Bible (AMP)

Do you think that being a king [merely] means [self-indulgent] vying [with Solomon] and striving to excel in cedar [palaces]? Did not your father [Josiah], as he ate and drank, do justice and righteousness [being upright and in right standing with God]? Then it was well with him.
— Jeremiah 22:15 (AMP)
