Jeremiah 29:17-21

17this is what the Lord of armies says: ‘Behold, I am sending upon them the 1sword, famine, and plague; and I will make them like 2rotten figs that cannot be eaten due to rottenness. 18I will pursue them with the sword, with famine, and with plague; and I will 3make them an object of terror to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a 4curse and an object of horror and 56hissing, and a disgrace among all the nations where I have driven them, 19because they have 7not listened to My words,’ declares the Lord, ‘which I sent to them again and again by 8My servants the prophets; but you did not listen,’ declares the Lord. 20‘You, therefore, hear the word of the Lord, all you exiles, whom I have 9sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.

21‘This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who are 10prophesying to you falsely in My name: “Behold, I am going to hand them over to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will kill them before your eyes.
