Jeremiah 22:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 But if ye will not hear these words, I [a]swear by myself, saith the Lord, that this House shall be waste.
6 For thus hath the Lord spoken upon the king’s house of Judah, Thou art [b]Gilead unto me, and the head of Lebanon, yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and as cities not inhabited.
7 And I will [c]prepare destroyers against thee, everyone with his weapons, and they shall cut down thy chief [d]cedar trees, and cast them in the fire.
