Jeremiah 22:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁸ “People from many nations will pass by this city. They will ask one another, ‘Why has the Lord done such a thing to this great city?’ ⁹ And the answer will be, ‘This happened because of what its people have done. They have turned away from the covenant the Lord their God made with them. They have worshiped other gods. And they have served them.’ ”
