Jeremiah 22:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ For thus saith the Lord to the house of the king of Juda: Thou art to me Galaad the head of Libanus: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities not habitable.

⁷ And I will prepare against thee the destroyer and his weapons: and they shall cut down thy chosen cedars, and shall cast them headlong into the fire.

⁸ And many nations shall pass by this city: and they shall say every man to his neighbour: Why hath the Lord done so to this great city?
