Jeremiah 29:17-19

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁷ thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘Behold, I am sending upon them the ^(A)sword, famine and pestilence, and I will make them like ^(B)split-open figs that cannot be eaten due to rottenness. ¹⁸ I will pursue them with the sword, with famine and with pestilence; and I will ^(C)make them a terror to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a ^(D)curse and a horror and a ^(E)hissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have driven them, ¹⁹ because they have ^(F)not listened to My words,’ declares the Lord, ‘which I sent to them again and again by ^(G)My servants the prophets; but you did not listen,’ declares the Lord.
