Jeremiah 29:17-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁷ “thus says the LORD of Hosts: ‘Behold, I will send the sword upon them, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like rotten figs that cannot be eaten, they are so bad.

¹⁸ ‘And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence. And I will make them a terror to all kingdoms of the Earth, a curse and astonishment, and a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have cast them,

¹⁹ ‘because they have not heard My Words’ says the LORD, ‘which I sent to them by My servants, the Prophets, rising up early and sending. But you would not hear,’ says the LORD.
