Jeremiah 24:7-9
English Standard Version
7 (A)I will give them a heart to know that I am the Lord, (B)and they shall be my people (C)and I will be their God, (D)for they shall return to me with their whole heart.
8 “But thus says the Lord: Like (E)the bad figs that are so bad they cannot be eaten, so will I treat (F)Zedekiah the king of Judah, his officials, the remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those who (G)dwell in the land of Egypt. 9 I will make them (H)a horror[a] to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be (I)a reproach, (J)a byword, (K)a taunt, and (L)a curse in all the places where I shall drive them.
