Context of Jeremiah 22:7
5But if ye will not hear these words, I have sworn by myself, saith Jehovah, that this house shall become a waste. 6For thus saith Jehovah concerning the house of the king of Judah: Thou art a Gilead unto me, the summit of Lebanon: verily I will make thee a wilderness, cities not inhabited. And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons; and they shall cut down the choice of thy cedars, and cast [them] into the fire. 8And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus unto this great city? 9And they shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them.
