5 But if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself, says Yahweh, that this house shall become a desolation.
6 For thus says Yahweh concerning the house of the king of Judah: You are Gilead to me, [and] the head of Lebanon; [yet] surely I will make you a wilderness, [and] cities which are not inhabited.
7 I will prepare destroyers against you, everyone with his weapons; and they shall cut down your choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.
8 Many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbor, Why has Yahweh done thus to this great city?
9 Then they shall answer, Because they forsook the covenant of Yahweh their God, and worshiped other gods, and served them.
