4 Porque se verdadeiramente cumprirdes esta palavra, os reis que se sentam em lugar de Davi sobre seu trono entrarão montados sobre carruagens e sobre cavalos pelas portas desta casa; eles, e seus servos, e seu povo.

5 Porém se não obedecerdes estas palavras, por mim mesmo tenho jurado, diz o SENHOR, que esta casa se tornará deserta.

6 Porque assim diz o SENHOR quanto à casa do rei de Judá: Tu és para mim [como] Gileade, [e] o topo do Líbano; porém certamente te tornarei em deserto, [e] cidades desabitadas.

7 Pois prepararei contra ti destruidores, cada um com suas armas; e cortarão teus mais valiosos cedros, e os lançarão no fogo.

8 E muitas nações passarão junto a esta cidade; e cada um dirá a seu companheiro: Por que o SENHOR fez isto com esta grande cidade?
