 Jeremiah 22, verse 15-16

Source: Bible New International Version

¹⁵ “Does it make you a king     to have more and more cedar? Did not your father have food and drink?     He did what was right and just,     so all went well with him. ¹⁶ He defended the cause of the poor and needy,     and so all went well. Is that not what it means to know me?”     declares the Lord.

15کیا تُو اِسی لِئے سلطنت کرے گا

کہ تُجھے دیودار کے کام کا شَوق ہے؟

کیا تیرے باپ نے نہیں کھایا پِیا اور

عدالت و صداقت نہیں کی

جِس سے اُس کا بھلا ہُؤا؟

16اُس نے مِسکِین اور مُحتاج کا اِنصاف کِیا۔ اِسی

سے اُس کا بھلا ہُؤا۔

کیا یِہی میرا عِرفان نہ تھا؟ خُداوند فرماتا ہے۔

My point of view about above verses

God told about Shallum, king of Judah – that he will never return and die in a place where he is captive

He told woe to people who builds big houses with unrighteous means and ways and do not pay to their labours and then decorate their homes 

God told what it means to know him - it means to do right and just - defend the cause of poor and needy - then all will went well with you - If we know God it means we should do right 

May God give us wisdom to understand Him through His Word as He speaks with us through this word and prophets - and apply it in our lives to have a blissful life on earth
