Verses 13-14
Jeremiah called down woe on the person who advanced his own interests, and built his own royal house (palace, and by implication, dynasty), by abusing the rights of others (cf. Leviticus 19:13; Deuteronomy 24:14; Malachi 3:5).
"This man, who gave his mind to trivialities at a time of crisis, and who saw his subjects only as exploitable, was a vulture at law and a peacock at home." [Note: Kidner, p. 87.]
