Jeremiah 22:7

Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"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." — Jeremiah 22:7 (ASV)

Prepare—that is, consecrate; see the note on Jeremiah 6:4.

Your choice cedars—the chief members of the royal lineage and the leading officers of state.
