Jeremiah 22:6

A Series Of Messages For The House Of The King Of Judah

⁵ But if you do not obey these words, then I swear by Myself”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“that this house will become a ruin.” ⁶ For this is what the Lord says concerning the house of the king of Judah:

You are like Gilead to Me,
or the summit of Lebanon,
but I will certainly turn you into a wilderness,
uninhabited cities.
⁷ I will appoint destroyers against you,
each with his weapons.
They will cut down the choicest of your cedars
and throw them into the fire.
