²⁵ “^(A)Yahweh shall cause you to be ^[a]defeated before your enemies; you will go out one way against them, but you will flee seven ways before them, and you will ^(B)become an example of terror to all the kingdoms of the earth.

⁸ Therefore ^(A)the wrath of Yahweh was against Judah and Jerusalem, and He has made them an object of terror, of horror, and of ^(B)hissing, as you see with your own eyes.

⁴ I will ^(A)give them over to be an example of terror among all the kingdoms of the earth because of ^(B)Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, for what he did in Jerusalem.

⁹ I will ^(A)give them over to be a terror and an evil for all the kingdoms of the earth, as a ^(B)reproach and a proverb, a byword and a ^(C)curse in all places where I will banish them.

¹⁷ “Therefore thus says Yahweh, ‘You have not obeyed Me in proclaiming ^[a]release each man to his brother and each man to his neighbor. Behold, I am ^(A)proclaiming a ^[b]release to you,’ declares Yahweh, ‘to the ^(B)sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you a ^(C)terror to all the kingdoms of the earth.

¹⁵ So they will ^(A)know that I am Yahweh when I scatter them among the nations and spread them among the countries.
