27 Jehovah will scatter you among the peoples,+ and just a few of you will survive+ among the nations to which Jehovah will have driven you.

48 Jehovah will send your enemies against you, and you will serve them+ while you are hungry+ and thirsty and poorly clothed and lacking everything. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has annihilated you.

24 they and all the nations will say, ‘Why did Jehovah do this to this land?+ What caused this great, burning anger?’ 25 Then they will say, ‘It was because they abandoned the covenant of Jehovah,+ the God of their forefathers, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.+

21 And this house will become heaps of ruins. Everyone passing by it will stare in amazement+ and will say, ‘Why did Jehovah do that to this land and this house?’+ 22 Then they will say, ‘It was because they abandoned Jehovah+ the God of their forefathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt,+ and they embraced other gods and bowed down to them and served them.+ That is why he brought all this calamity on them.’”+
