concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You [are] Gilead to Me—head of Lebanon, "" If not—I make you a wilderness, "" Cities [that] are not inhabited.<p> <A name="8"></a><span class="reftext"><a

class="reftext"><a href="/jeremiah/22-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>Do you reign, because you are fretting yourself in cedar?
