1Thus said YHWH: "Go down [to] the house of the king of Judah, and you have spoken this word there, and have said, 2Hear a word of YHWH, O king of Judah, who are sitting on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people, who are coming in at these gates," 3Thus said YHWH: "Do judgment and righteousness, || And deliver the plundered from the hand of the oppressor, || And sojourner, orphan, and widow, you do not oppress nor wrong, || And innocent blood you do not shed in this place. 4For if you certainly do this thing, || Then kings sitting for David on his throne || Have come in by the gates of this house, || Riding on chariot, and on horses, || He, and his servants, and his people. 5And if you do not hear these words, || I have sworn by Myself," || A declaration of YHWH, || "That this house is for a desolation." 6For thus said YHWH 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. 7And I have separated destroyers for you, || Each with his weapons, || And they have cut down the choice of your cedars, || And have cast them on the fire." 8And many nations have passed by this city, || And they have each said to his neighbor, "Why has YHWH done thus to this great city?"9And they have said, "Because that they have forsaken || The covenant of their God YHWH, || And bow themselves to other gods, and serve them."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And many nations shall pass by this city,.... After it is burned down and destroyed; that is, people out of many nations travelling that way:
and they shall say every man to his neighbour; as in company together, passing along the ruined walls of the city:
wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this great city? so fortified and so full of people; the metropolis of the whole nation; the greatest city in the east; yea, the joy of the whole earth; a city peculiarly dear to the Lord; greatly honoured by him with his presence, worship, and ordinances, and yet now in ruins; how comes this to pass? they see and acknowledge the hand of the Lord in it, having a better notion of things than the Jews themselves had.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 22:8. Many nations shall pass — These words seem borrowed from Deuteronomy 29:22, &c.
