Jeremiah 29:16-19
English Standard Version
16 thus says the Lord concerning (A)the king who sits on the throne of David, and concerning all the people who dwell in this city, your kinsmen who did not go out with you into exile: 17 ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, behold, I am sending on them (B)sword, famine, and pestilence, and I will make them like (C)vile figs that are so rotten they cannot be eaten. 18 I will pursue them with (D)sword, famine, and pestilence, (E)and will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth, (F)to be a curse, a terror, a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations (G)where I have driven them, 19 because they did not pay attention to my words, declares the Lord, (H)that I persistently sent to you by my servants the prophets, but you would not listen, declares the Lord.’
