Jeremiah 22:5-7
Lexham English Bible
5 But if you do not obey these words, I swear by myself,” declares[a] Yahweh, “that this house will become a site of ruins.”’”
6 For thus says Yahweh concerning the house of the king of Judah,
“You are like Gilead to me,
like the head of the Lebanon.
Surely[b] I will make you a desert,[c]
like cities that are not inhabited.
7 And I will consecrate against you destroyers,
everyone with his weapons,
and they will cut down your choicest cedars,[d]
and cast them[e] on the fire.
