Jeremiah 22:6-8

Easy-to-Read Version

⁶This is what the Lord says about the palace where the king of Judah lives:

“The palace is tall like the forests of Gilead,
    like the mountains of Lebanon.
But I will make it like a desert,
    as empty as a city where no one lives.
⁷I will send men to destroy the palace,
    each armed with weapons.
They will cut up your strong, beautiful cedar beams
    and throw them into the fire.

⁸“People from many nations will pass by this city. They will ask one another, ‘Why has the Lord done such a terrible thing to Jerusalem? Jerusalem was such a great city.’
