Jeremiah 22:6-8
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
6 For thus saith the Lord to the house of the king of Juda: Thou art to me Galaad the head of Libanus: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities not habitable.
7 And I will prepare against thee the destroyer and his weapons: and they shall cut down thy chosen cedars, and shall cast them headlong into the fire.
8 And many nations shall pass by this city: and they shall say every man to his neighbour: Why hath the Lord done so to this great city?

Jeremiah 22:6-8
New International Version
6 For this is what the Lord says about the palace of the king of Judah:
“Though you are like Gilead(A) to me,
like the summit of Lebanon,(B)
I will surely make you like a wasteland,(C)
like towns not inhabited.
7 I will send destroyers(D) against you,
each man with his weapons,
and they will cut(E) up your fine cedar beams
and throw them into the fire.(F)
8 “People from many nations will pass by this city and will ask one another, ‘Why has the Lord done such a thing to this great city?’(G)
