Jeremiah 29:18-20

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁸ And I will pursue them with the sword, famine, and pestilence and will give them up to be tossed to and fro and to be a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, an astonishment, and a terror, a hissing and a reproach among all the nations to which I have driven them,

¹⁹ Because they have not listened to and heeded My words, says the Lord, which I sent to them persistently by My servants the prophets; but you [exiles] would not listen [either], says the Lord.^(A)

²⁰ Hear therefore the word of the Lord, all you exiles whom I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.
