Jeremiah 29:18-20

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁸ I will pursue them with the sword, with famine and with pestilence; and I will ^(A)make them a terror to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a ^(B)curse and a horror and a ^(C)hissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have driven them, ¹⁹ because they have ^(D)not listened to My words,’ declares the Lord, ‘which I sent to them again and again by ^(E)My servants the prophets; but you did not listen,’ declares the Lord. ²⁰ You, therefore, hear the word of the Lord, all you exiles, whom I have ^(F)sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.
