Jeremiah 29:18-20

Good News Translation

¹⁸ I will pursue them with war, starvation, and disease, and all the nations of the world will be horrified at what they see. Everywhere I scatter them, people will be shocked and terrified at what has happened to them. People will make fun of them and use their name as a curse. ¹⁹ This will happen to them because they did not obey the message that I kept on sending to them through my servants the prophets. They refused to listen. ²⁰ All of you whom I sent into exile in Babylonia, listen to what I, the Lord, say.’
