Jeremiah 29:15-17

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁵ [But as for those still in Jerusalem] because you have said, The Lord has raised up prophets for us in Babylon,

¹⁶ Thus says the Lord concerning the king who sits upon the throne of David and concerning all the people who dwell in this city, your brethren who did not go forth with you into captivity—

¹⁷ Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I am sending on them the sword, famine, and pestilence, and I will make them like vile figs which are so bad they cannot be eaten.
