Jeremiah 29:18-20

Living Bible

¹⁸ And I will scatter them around the world. And in every nation where I place them they will be cursed and hissed and mocked, ¹⁹ for they refuse to listen to me though I spoke to them again and again through my prophets.

²⁰ Therefore listen to the word of God, all you Jewish captives over there in Babylon.
