⁵ But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith Jehovah, that this house shall become a desolation. ⁶ For thus saith Jehovah ^[a]concerning the house of the king of Judah: Thou art Gilead unto me, and the head of Lebanon; yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited. ⁷ And I will ^[b]prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons; and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.
