But if you will not obey these words, I (A)swear by myself, declares the Lord, that (B)this house shall become a desolation. For thus says the Lord concerning the house of the king of Judah:

“‘You are like Gilead to me,
    like the summit of (C)Lebanon,
yet surely I will make you a desert,
    (D)an uninhabited city.[a]
(E)I will prepare destroyers against you,
    each with his weapons,
(F)and they shall cut down your choicest cedars
    and cast them into the fire.
