20 “Jehovah will send upon you the curse,+ confusion+ and rebuke+ in every undertaking of yours that you try to carry out, until you have been annihilated and have perished in a hurry, because of the badness of your practices in that you have forsaken me.+

16 But they were continually making jest+ at the messengers of the [true] God and despising his words+ and mocking+ at his prophets, until the rage+ of Jehovah came up against his people, until there was no healing.+

11 And with the rage of Jehovah I have become full. I have become weary with holding in.”+

“Pour [it] out upon the child in the street+ and upon the intimate group of young men at the same time; for they will also be caught, a man* along with his wife,* an old man along with one that is full of days.+

11 And I will make Jerusalem piles of stones,+ the lair of jackals;+ and the cities of Judah I shall make a desolate waste, without an inhabitant.+

31 So I shall pour out my denunciation+ upon them. With the fire of my fury I will exterminate them.+ Their way I will bring upon their own head,’+ is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah.”

12 And he proceeded to carry out his words that he had spoken against us+ and against our judges who judged us,+ by bringing upon us great calamity, such as was not done under the whole heavens as what has been done in Jerusalem.+

6 However, as regards my words and my regulations that I commanded my servants, the prophets,+ did they not catch up with YOUR fathers?’+ So they returned and said: ‘According to what Jehovah of armies had in mind to do to us,+ according to our ways and according to our dealings, that is how he has done with us.’”+
