Jeremiah 22:7 DBY

⁵  But if ye will not hear these words, I have sworn by myself, saith Jehovah, that this house shall become a waste.

⁶  For thus saith Jehovah concerning the house of the king of Judah: Thou art a Gilead unto me, the summit of Lebanon: verily I will make thee a wilderness, cities not inhabited.

⁷  And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons; and they shall cut down the choice of thy cedars, and cast [them] into the fire.

⁸  And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus unto this great city?

⁹  And they shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them.
