Jeremiah 22:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷I will send forth destroyers to annihilate you,
each man equipped with his weapons.
They will cut down your finest cedars
and cast them into the fire.

⁸People from many nations will pass by this city, and they will ask one another, “Why has the Lord dealt in this manner with this great city?” ⁹And the answer will be given, “Because they abandoned their covenant with the Lord, their God, in order to worship other gods and serve them.”
