Jeremiah 29:15-17

New Living Translation

¹⁵ You claim that the Lord has raised up prophets for you in Babylon. ¹⁶ But this is what the Lord says about the king who sits on David’s throne and all those still living here in Jerusalem—your relatives who were not exiled to Babylon. ¹⁷ This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: “I will send war, famine, and disease upon them and make them like bad figs, too rotten to eat.
