Jeremiah

Jeremiah 22:4–5

⁴For if you will indeed carry out these commands, then kings who sit on David’s throne will enter through the gates of this palace riding on chariots and horses — they and their officials and their people. ⁵But if you do not obey these words, then I swear by Myself, declares the LORD, that this house will become a pile of rubble.’”
