But suppose you do not obey these commands,” announces the Lord. “Then I promise you that this palace will be destroyed. You can be as sure of this promise as you are sure that I live.” ’ ”

The Lord speaks about the palace of the king of Judah. He says,

“You are like the land of Gilead to me.
    You are like the highest mountain in Lebanon.
But I will make you like a desert.
    You will become like towns that no one lives in.
I will send destroyers against you.
    All of them will come with their weapons.
They will cut up your fine cedar beams.
    They will throw them into the fire.

    each man with his weapons,
and they will cut(G) up your fine cedar beams
    and throw them into the fire.(H)
