⁶ then I will make this house ^(A)like Shiloh, and I will make this city ^(B)a curse for all the nations of the earth.’”

⁹ I will make them ^(A)a horror^[a] to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be ^(B)a reproach, ^(C)a byword, ^(D)a taunt, and ^(E)a curse in all the places where I shall drive them.

^19 (A)because your heart was penitent, and you ^(B)humbled yourself before the Lord, when you heard how I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants, that they should become ^(C)a desolation and ^(D)a curse, and you ^(E)have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you, declares the Lord.

^18 (A)Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and officials, ^(B)to make them a desolation and a waste, a hissing and a curse, as at this day;

⁶ And he will ^(A)turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and ^(B)strike the land with a decree of utter destruction.”^[a]

^11 (A)All Israel has transgressed your law and turned aside, ^(B)refusing to obey your voice. ^(C)And the curse and oath ^(D)that are written in the Law of ^(E)Moses the servant of God have been poured out upon us, because ^(F)we have sinned against him.

^22 (A)The Lord could no longer bear your evil deeds and ^(B)the abominations that you committed. ^(C)Therefore your land has become ^(D)a desolation and a waste and a curse, ^(E)without inhabitant, as it is this day.

^8 (A)Why do you provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, ^(B)making offerings to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have come to live, so that you may be cut off and become ^(C)a curse and a taunt among all the nations of the earth? ⁹ Have you forgotten the evil of your fathers, ^(D)the evil of the kings of Judah, ^(E)the evil of their^[a] wives, your own evil, ^(F)and the evil of your wives, which they committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? ¹⁰ They have not humbled themselves even to this day, ^(G)nor have they feared, nor walked in my law and my statutes that I set before you and before your fathers.

¹¹ “Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ^(H)Behold, I will set my face against you for harm, to cut off all Judah. ¹² I will take the remnant of Judah who have ^(I)set their faces to come to the land of Egypt to live, and they shall all be consumed. ^(J)In the land of Egypt they shall fall; by the sword and by famine ^(K)they shall be consumed. ^(L)From the least to the greatest, they shall die by the sword and by famine, ^(M)and they shall become an oath, a horror, ^(N)a curse, and a taunt.
