Jeremiah 22:5-7

The Voice

⁵But if you refuse My words of warning, I swear by My name and all that I am that this palace of yours will be laid to waste.’”

⁶This is what the Eternal says concerning the king of Judah and his household.

Eternal One: You are as precious to Me as the lush forests of Gilead;
        you are like the cedars on the summit of Lebanon.
    But I swear I will make you into a wilderness—stripped of trees—
        with cities that lie empty and lifeless.
⁷    I will unleash destroyers against you—
        ruthless men with fearful weapons.
    They will cut down your best trees
        and throw them on the fire.
