Jeremiah 29:17-19

Jeremiah 29:17-19

[17] Thus saith  the LORD  of hosts;  Behold, I will send  upon them the sword,  the famine,  and the pestilence,  and will make  them like vile  figs,  that cannot be eaten,  they are so evil.  [18] And I will persecute  them  with the sword,  with the famine,  and with the pestilence,  and will deliver  to all the kingdoms  of the earth,  to be a curse,  and an astonishment,  and an hissing,  and a reproach,  among all the nations  whither I have driven  them: [19] Because they have not hearkened  to my words,  saith  the LORD,  which I sent  unto them by my servants  the prophets,  rising up early  and sending  them; but ye would not hear,  saith  the LORD.
