Jeremiah 29:18-20

Amplified Bible

¹⁸ I will pursue them with the sword, with famine and with virulent disease; and I will make them a terror (warning) to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, a horror, a hissing, and a disgrace among all the nations to which I have driven them, ¹⁹ because they have not listened to and honored My words,’ says the Lord, ‘which I sent to them again and again by My servants the prophets. Moreover, you [exiles] did 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.
