Jeremiah 24:8-10
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
8 And as for the bad figs, which are so bad that they cannot be eaten, surely thus says the Lord, So will I give up Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes and the residue of Jerusalem who remains in this land and those who dwell in the land of Egypt.
9 I will even give them up to be a dismay and a horror and to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil, to be a reproach, a byword or proverb, a taunt, and a curse in all places where I will drive them.
10 And I will send the sword, famine, and pestilence among them until they are consumed from off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.

8 “‘But like the bad(A) figs, which are so bad they cannot be eaten,’ says the Lord, ‘so will I deal with Zedekiah(B) king of Judah, his officials(C) and the survivors(D) from Jerusalem, whether they remain in this land or live in Egypt.(E) 9 I will make them abhorrent(F) and an offense to all the kingdoms of the earth, a reproach and a byword,(G) a curse[a](H) and an object of ridicule, wherever I banish(I) them. 10 I will send the sword,(J) famine(K) and plague(L) against them until they are destroyed from the land I gave to them and their ancestors.(M)’”
