Jeremiah 22:8

8 "Many nations will pass by this city and ask one another: Why did the Lord do such a thing to this great city?

Jeremiah 22:8 In-Context

6 For this is what the Lord says concerning the house of the king of Judah: You are like Gilead to Me, [or] the summit of Lebanon, but I will certainly turn you into a wilderness, uninhabited cities.
7 I will appoint destroyers against you, each with his weapons. They will cut down the choicest of your cedars and throw them into the fire.
8 "Many nations will pass by this city and ask one another: Why did the Lord do such a thing to this great city?
9 They will answer: Because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord their God and worshiped and served other gods."
10 Do not weep for the dead; do not mourn for him. Weep bitterly for the one who has gone away, for he will never return again and see his native land.
