“Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour’s service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;”
The address to the king building his house by unrighteousness and his chambers by injustice represents a shift to a specific indictment of economic oppression. The king's building projects are financed by exploitation rather than justice. The use of uncompensated labor to construct palaces represents the perversion of royal power for personal aggrandizement rather than the service of justice.
