Jeremiah 22:5-7

New International Reader's Version

“You are like the land of Gilead to me.
    You are like the highest mountain in Lebanon.
But I will make you like a desert.
    You will become like towns that no one lives in.
⁷ I will send destroyers against you.
    All of them will come with their weapons.
They will cut up your fine cedar beams.
    They will throw them into the fire.
