Jeremiah 29:17-19

17thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘Behold, I am sending upon them the 1sword, famine and pestilence, and I will make them like 2split-open figs that cannot be eaten due to rottenness.

18I will pursue them with the sword, with famine and with pestilence; and I will 3make them a terror to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a 4curse and a horror and a 5hissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have driven them,

19because they have 6not listened to My words,’ declares the Lord, ‘which I sent to them again and again by 7My servants the prophets; but you did not listen,’ declares the Lord.
