Jeremiah 22:5

A Warning to Judah’s Kings

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.’”
