Jeremiah 22:7-9

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷I will prepare destroyers against you,
each with his weapons;
and they shall cut down your choicest cedars,
and cast them into the fire.

⁸“‘And many nations will pass by this city, and every man will say to his neighbor, “Why has the Lord dealt thus with this great city?” ⁹And they will answer, “Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord their God, and worshiped other gods and served them.”’”
