Jeremiah 29:15-17

International Children’s Bible

¹⁵ You might say, “The Lord has given us prophets here in Babylon.”

¹⁶ But the Lord says this about the king who is sitting on David’s throne now. And I’m also talking about all the other people still in Jerusalem. These are your relatives who did not go to Babylon with you. ¹⁷ The Lord of heaven’s armies says: “I will soon send war, hunger and terrible diseases against those still in Jerusalem. I will make them like bad figs that are too rotten to eat.
