Jeremiah 22:6-8

International Children’s Bible

“This palace is tall like the forests of Gilead.
    It is high like the mountains of Lebanon.
But I will truly make it like a desert.
    It will be empty like towns where no one lives.
⁷ I will send men to destroy the palace.
    Each man will have his weapons with him.
They will cut up your strong, beautiful cedar beams.
    And they will throw them into the fire.
