³⁷ And you shall become ^(A)a horror, a proverb, and a byword among all the peoples where the Lord will lead you away.

⁹ I will make them ^(A)a horror^[a] to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be ^(B)a reproach, ^(C)a byword, ^(D)a taunt, and ^(E)a curse in all the places where I shall drive them.

¹⁸ I will pursue them with ^(A)sword, famine, and pestilence, ^(B)and will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth, ^(C)to be a curse, a terror, a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations ^(D)where I have driven them,

^22 (A)Because of them ^(B)this curse shall be used by all the exiles from Judah in Babylon: “The Lord make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, ^(C)whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire,”

¹⁸ “For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ^(A)As my anger and my wrath were poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so my wrath will be poured out on you when you go to Egypt. ^(B)You shall become an execration, a horror, a curse, and a taunt. You shall see this place no more.

¹² I will take the remnant of Judah who have ^(A)set their faces to come to the land of Egypt to live, and they shall all be consumed. ^(B)In the land of Egypt they shall fall; by the sword and by famine ^(C)they shall be consumed. ^(D)From the least to the greatest, they shall die by the sword and by famine, ^(E)and they shall become an oath, a horror, ^(F)a curse, and a taunt.

¹³ And as ^(A)you have been a byword of cursing among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, ^(B)so will I save you, and ^(C)you shall be a blessing. ^(D)Fear not, but ^(E)let your hands be strong.”
