Jeremiah 22:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ “And I will prepare destroyers against you, everyone with his weapons. And they shall cut down your chief cedar trees and cast them in the fire.

⁸ “And many nations shall pass by this city. And every man shall say to his neighbor, ‘Why has the LORD done this to this great city?’

⁹ “Then they shall answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the Covenant of the LORD their God, and worshipped other gods and served them.’”’”
