Jeremiah 22:4-6

Living Bible

⁴ If you put an end to all these terrible deeds you are doing, then I will deliver this nation and once more give kings to sit on David’s throne, and there shall be prosperity for all. ⁵ But if you refuse to pay attention to this warning, I swear by my own name, says the Lord, that this palace shall become a shambles.

⁶ For this is the Lord’s message concerning the palace: You are as beloved to me as fruitful Gilead and the green forests of Lebanon; but I will destroy you and leave you deserted and uninhabited.
