Jeremiah 22:7-9

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

and cast them into the fire.

⁸And many nations will pass by this city, and all of them will say one to another, ‘Why has the Lord dealt in this way with that great city?’ ⁹And they will answer, ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped other gods and served them.’
