Jeremiah 22:7-9
Lexham English Bible
7 And I will consecrate against you destroyers,
everyone with his weapons,
and they will cut down your choicest cedars,[a]
and cast them[b] on the fire.
8 And many nations will pass by this city and they will say each one to his neighbor, ‘Why[c] has Yahweh done in this manner to this great city?’ 9 Then they will answer, ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh their God, and bowed down in worship to other gods, and served them.’”
