Celakalah dia yang membangun istananya berdasarkan ketidakadilan dan anjungnya berdasarkan kelaliman, yang mempekerjakan sesamanya dengan cuma-cuma dan tidak memberikan upahnya kepadanya;
Wai bagi orang yang membangunkan rumahnya di atas barang yang tiada benar dan anjung-anjungnya di atas barang yang tiada betul, yang menyuruh samanya manusia bekerja dengan cuma-cuma dan yang tiada memberi kepadanya upah pekerjaannya!

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Woe unto him that buildeth his house by righteousness, and his chambers by wrong,.... This respects Jehoiakim, the then reigning king; who, not content with the palace the kings of Judah before him had lived in, built another; or however enlarged that, and made great alterations in it; but this he did either with money ill gotten, or perverted to a wrong use, which ought to have been otherwise laid out; or by not paying for the materials of whom they were bought, or the workmen for their workmanship; and perhaps this may be the reason why so much notice is taken of the king's house or palace in the former part of the chapter, and why it is threatened with desolation,
Jeremiah 22:1;
[that] useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work; or, "that serveth [himself] of his neighbour freely"; or, "makes him serve freely" g; "and giveth him not his work" h; makes him, work for nothing; gives him no wages for it, but keeps back the hire of the labourers; which is a crying sin in any person, and much more in a king; see James 5:4.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Far worse is the second example. Shallum was no heartless tyrant like Jehoiakim, who lived in splendor amid the misery of the nation, and perished so little cared for that his body was cast aside without burial.
His chambers - Really, his upper chambers. From the absence of machinery the raising of materials for the upper stories was a difficult task, especially when massive stones were used.
His work - Giveth him not his wages.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 22:13. Wo unto him that buildeth his house — These evils, charged against Jehoiakim, are nowhere else circumstantially related. We learn from 2 Kings 23:35-37, that he taxed his subjects heavily, to give to Pharaoh-necho, king of Egypt: "He exacted the silver and gold of the people of the land, and did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord." The mode of taxation is here intimated; he took the wages of the hirelings, and caused the people to work without wages in his own buildings, &c.
