Jeremiah 29:15-19

15Because you have said, ‘The Lord has raised up prophets for us in Babylon,’ 16thus says the Lord concerning athe king who sits on the throne of David, and concerning all the people who dwell in this city, your kinsmen who did not go out with you into exile: 17Thus says the Lord of hosts, behold, I am sending on them bsword, famine, and pestilence, and I will make them like cvile figs that are so rotten they cannot be eaten. 18I will pursue them with dsword, famine, and pestilence, eand will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth, fto be a curse, a terror, a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations gwhere I have driven them, 19because they did not pay attention to my words, declares the Lord, hthat I persistently sent to you by my servants the prophets, but you would not listen, declares the Lord.’
