Jeremiah 22:8 BBE

⁶  For this is what the Lord has said about the family of the king of Judah: You are Gilead to me, and the top of Lebanon: but, truly, I will make you waste, with towns unpeopled.

⁷  And I will make ready those who will send destruction on you, everyone armed for war: by them your best cedar-trees will be cut down and put in the fire.

⁸  And nations from all sides will go past this town, and every man will say to his neighbour, Why has the Lord done such things to this great town?

⁹  And they will say, Because they gave up the agreement of the Lord their God, and became worshippers and servants of other gods.

¹⁰  Let there be no weeping for the dead, and make no songs of grief for him: but make bitter weeping for him who has gone away, for he will never come back or see again the country of his birth.
