Jeremiah 22:5-7
EasyEnglish Bible

5 But if you do not obey these commands, I will destroy this palace. I promise you that it will become a heap of stones! That is what I, the Lord, tell you.” ’

6 The Lord says this about the palace of the king of Judah:

‘This place is as beautiful as Gilead!
    It is as beautiful as Lebanon's mountains.
But I will cause it to become a wilderness,
    a place where nobody lives any more.
7 I will send enemies to destroy this place.
    They will use their weapons to knock it all down.
They will cut down the strong beams of cedar wood.
    They will throw them into the fire.

Jeremiah 22:5-7
New International Version

5 But if you do not obey(A) these commands, declares the Lord, I swear(B) by myself that this palace will become a ruin.’”

6 For this is what the Lord says about the palace of the king of Judah:

“Though you are like Gilead(C) to me,
    like the summit of Lebanon,(D)
I will surely make you like a wasteland,(E)
    like towns not inhabited.
7 I will send destroyers(F) against you,
    each man with his weapons,
and they will cut(G) up your fine cedar beams
    and throw them into the fire.(H)
