In context
6For this is what the LORD says concerning the house of the king of Judah: 7I will appoint destroyers against you, 8And many nations will pass by this city and ask one another, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this great city?’ 9Then people will reply, ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God and have worshiped and served other gods.’”
