Jeremiah 29:15-17

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁵ Because you say, “The Lord has raised up prophets for us in Babylon,” ¹⁶ this is what the Lord says concerning the king who sits on David’s throne and concerning all the people who remain in this city, your brothers who were not carried away into exile with you. ¹⁷ Yes, this is what the Lord says. Watch, I am going to send sword, famine, and plague against them, and I will make them like rotten figs that are so bad they cannot be eaten.
