And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.

The verse 7 is found in chapter 22 of Jeremiah. The word addressed to the royal house establishes a criterion for evaluating government: practice justice, rescue the oppressed, and do not shed innocent blood. Davidic identity is not an automatic privilege; it is linked to obedience. Jerusalem’s destruction will be explained by abandoning these responsibilities.

Denn ich habe den Verderber über dich bestellt, einen jeglichen mit seinen Waffen; die sollen deine auserwählten Zedern umhauen und ins Feuer werfen.
Y señalaré contra ti disipadores, cada uno con sus armas; y cortarán tus cedros escogidos, y los echarán en el fuego.
Je prépare contre toi des destructeurs, Chacun avec ses armes; Ils abattront tes plus beaux cèdres, Et les jetteront au feu.
Io ordinerò contro a te de’ guastatori, che avranno ciascuno le sue armi; e taglieranno la scelta de’ tuoi cedri, e li gitteranno nel fuoco.
Porque preparei contra ti destruidores, cada um com as suas armas; e cortarão os teus cedros escolhidos, e lançá-los-ão no fogo.
我要預備施行毀滅的人, 各人佩帶兵器攻擊你; 他們要砍伐你佳美的香柏樹, 扔在火中。
