Jeremiah 29:18-20
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
18 I will pursue them with sword, famine, and pestilence, and make them an object of horror to all the kingdoms of the earth, a curse, a desolation, a hissing, and a reproach to all the nations among which I have banished them,(A) 19 because they did not listen to my words—oracle of the Lord—even though I kept sending them my servants the prophets, but they would not listen to them—oracle of the Lord.(B)
20 As for you, listen to the word of the Lord, all you exiles whom I sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.
