²¹ Then the Lord will single him out for ^[a]adversity from all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant ^(A)which are written in this book of the law.

⁹ I will ^(A)make them a terror and an evil for all the kingdoms of the earth, as a ^(B)reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a ^(C)curse in all places where I will scatter them.

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,

¹² And I will ^(A)take away the remnant of Judah who have set their ^[a]mind on entering the land of Egypt to reside there, and they will all ^[b](B)meet their end in the land of Egypt; they will fall by the sword and meet their end by famine. Both small and great will die by the sword and famine; and they will become a ^(C)curse, an object of horror, an imprecation and a reproach.
