Jeremiah 22:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ I am sending men to destroy it. They will all bring their axes, cut down its beautiful cedar pillars, and throw them into the fire.

⁸ “Afterward many foreigners will pass by and ask one another why I, the Lord, have done such a thing to this great city. ⁹ Then they will answer that it is because you have abandoned your covenant with me, your God, and have worshiped and served other gods.”
