16thusH3541 saith Jehovah concerningH413 the kingH4428 that sitteth upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, and concerningH413 all the peopleH5971 that dwellH3427 in this cityH5892, your brethren that are not goneH3318 forthH3318 with you into captivity; 17thusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635: Behold, I will sendH7971 upon them the swordH2719, the famineH7458, and the pestilenceH1698, and will makeH5414 them like vile figsH8384, that cannot be eatenH398, they are so bad. 18And I will pursueH7291 after them with the swordH2719, with the famineH7458, and with the pestilenceH1698, and will deliver them to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776, to be an execration, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a reproachH2781, among all the nationsH1471 whither I have drivenH5080 them; 19because they have not hearkened to my wordsH1697, saith Jehovah, wherewith I sentH7971 unto them my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, risingH7925 up earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them; but ye would not hearH8085, saith Jehovah. 20HearH8085 ye therefore the wordH1697 of Jehovah, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sentH7971 awayH7971 from JerusalemH3389 to BabylonH894.
