Jeremiah 29:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ Because you have said: The Lord hath raised us up prophets in Babylon:

¹⁶ For thus saith the Lord to the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and to all the people that dwell in this city, to your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity.

¹⁷ Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will send upon them the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence: and I will make them like bad figs that cannot be eaten, because they are very bad.
