⁶ Therefore, a ^(A)curse devours the earth, and those who live on it suffer for their guilt. Therefore, the ^(B)inhabitants of the earth decrease in number, and few people are left.

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

¹¹ Indeed, ^(A)all Israel has violated Your Law and turned aside, not obeying Your voice; so the ^(B)curse has gushed forth on us, along with the oath which is written in the Law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against Him.

¹³ And it will come about that just as you were a ^(A)curse among the nations, house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you that you may become a ^(B)blessing. Do not fear; let your ^(C)hands be strong.’
