Jeremiah 22:5-7
International Children’s Bible

5 But if you don’t obey these commands, this is what the Lord says: I promise in my own name that this king’s palace will become a ruin.’”

6 This is what the Lord says about the palace where the king of Judah lives:

“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.

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)
