Jeremiah

Jeremiah 29:17–19

¹⁷this is what the LORD of Hosts says:

“I will send against them sword and famine and plague, and I will make them like rotten figs, so bad they cannot be eaten. ¹⁸I will pursue them with sword and famine and plague. I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth— a curse, a desolation, and an object of scorn and reproach among all the nations to which I banish them. ¹⁹I will do this because they have not listened to My words, declares the LORD,which I sent to them again and again^d through My servants the prophets. And neither have you exiles listened, declares the LORD.”
